Dodgers to Be Honored at Youth Education Benefit
- Share via
The Los Angeles Dodgers will be honored Thursday at a Beverly Hills dinner and silent auction designed to raise funds for a journalism education program that assists Los Angeles youngsters.
The annual City Lights dinner supports LA Youth, a nonprofit organization that trains more than 600 teenagers each year in writing, editing, photography, graphic arts and new technology.
The youngsters produce “LA Youth,” a newspaper that promotes positive role models and practical solutions to teens’ problems. The newspaper is used in school classrooms and is distributed at some 1,700 Los Angeles-area sites.
Sports commentator Roy Firestone will be guest speaker at the 7:30 p.m. dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel after the 6:30 p.m. silent auction of Dodger memorabilia.
Tickets are $300 and $500 per person. Last year’s dinner raised more than $104,000 for the program, officials said.
