While Justin Turner is expected to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, he’s also involved in generating relief for California wildfire victims.
On both his and the Justin Turner Foundation Instagram accounts, the All-Star third baseman announced his is giving away free tickets to a game this weekend against the Houston Astros.
To enter, fans are asked to take a picture of themselves delivering supplies to the L.A. Dream Center, follow and tag designated social media accounts, and include “#CAWildfireDonations” in their post.
As of this writing, tens of thousands of firefighters were working to contain and put out 16 fires that have burned more than 320,000 acres and displaced more than 32,000 residents.
That Turner is using his platform to provide aid for those in need is hardly a surprise. Through the The Justin Turner Foundation, he and his wife Kourtney regularly work with the Dream Center. Last September, they donated to Kiké Hernandez’s efforts to raise money for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico.
The foundation and Dream Center recently opened the first ever Women Veterans Home on the non-profit’s campus.
