For the 3rd straight year the Dodgers will play a charity game in benefit to the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation on Thursday, March 21st at Kino Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. They will play an exhibition game against the Cubs. Christina-Taylor Green was the young daughter of John Green, National Crosschecker for the Dodgers, who was killed during the tragic mass shooting on January 8, 2011 that took the lives of 5 other people and almost killed US Representative Gabrielle Giffords.
The game will take place at 1:05 PM, and all proceeds will go the the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation. Tickets will officially go on sale on Saturday, February 9th. Go
here for more information.
The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres will hold a similar event for the Foundation, but details of that game have yet to be announced.
The Christina-Taylor
Green Memorial Foundation was established by the Green family to receive
gifts in memory of Christina-Taylor. The mission of the
Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation is to honor the life and
memory of Christina-Taylor through charitable and educational projects
that reflect and embody her interests, values and dreams.
If you are in the area for Spring Training on this day then I highly suggest attending and giving your support.
