Oklahoma City Dodgers spend the fall season giving back to OKC

The OKC Dodgers partnered with Oklahoma Fidelity Bank to donate $50 for each home run hit by the OKC Dodgers during the 2019 season at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The organizations recently made a donation to Make-A-Wish Oklahoma, which grants wishes to children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Photo courtesy of the OKC Dodgers.

The 2019 baseball season may be over, but the Oklahoma City Dodgers have remained active, giving back to the local community they are proud to call home.

From making monetary donations, to staff volunteer outings, to meeting with area students of all ages, as well as coordinating appearances by the organization’s mascots and Street Team, the OKC Dodgers aim to return support to the community that lifts the team all season long.

Please scroll down to see some of the ways the Dodgers have been giving back throughout the Oklahoma City metro area in recent weeks.
