Many players on the Los Angeles Dodgers have done a tremendous job supporting the community in recent years, and one of those is Yasiel Puig through his Wild Horse Children’s Foundation.
Puig recently hosted his annual celebrity poker tournament to support his foundation’s effort to build a community center for children in the city of San Fernando.
He has also been doing something called ‘Yasiel Homers for Hope’ all season, in which he donates $1,000 to his foundation every time he hits a home run for the Dodgers.
Puig is now extending that cause to fans and giving them a chance to donate and enter a raffle in which the winner will have a chance at a meet and greet with Puig on the field during batting practice at Dodger Stadium.
Want to meet me on the field for BP?! Donate by Aug 25 to enter https://t.co/vT2PhAhByC #giveback #wildhorse #dodgers #puigyourfriend #mlb #dodgers #BaseBall pic.twitter.com/CAlil4hkKO

There are different amounts that people can donate to win different prizes, as outlined on the campaign’s website. Everyone who pledges will receive an autographed Puig photo card.
Then, the first 66 pledges of $66 or more will receive an autographed Wild Horse Foundation hat. If you donate at least $250 then you will receive two tickets to a Dodgers game, and be entered to win the meet and greet experience where you will also win a signed game-used bat of Puig’s (which he likely has licked).
And finally, anyone whose total contribution equals at least $10,000 will get to attend a private dinner with Puig.
