Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani announced Thursday he is donating $500,000 in the wake of the fires plaguing Los Angeles county. Ohtani stated his donation will be helping firefighters, those who had to evacuate their homes, and animals in need.
"Our hearts go out to all the firefighters who continue to fight for us during the fires in LA," Ohtani wrote on Instagram, translated to English. "We'll be donating $500,000 to help those firefighters and those forced to live in shelter to help animals in need. The Los Angeles Dodgers are also working together with teams from other competitions to help sell T-shirts and more. I hope you all will consider this. I hope you recover soon."
