As you might know, Head and Shoulders has partnered with MLB to create a healthy competition between teams that benefits the community — and you can participate.
Each time a Dodger pitcher strikes out an opposing player, tweet “#Whiff @Dodgers.” The teams with the highest number of tweets each month earn money for their RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) team.
Two weeks ago, Sam Riber of Head and Shoulders presented a check for $35,000 before that night’s game to support Dodgers RBI to Dodger outfielder and RBI alum Carl Crawford and Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation executive director Nichol Whiteman.
Dodgers RBI is a comprehensive, urban youth baseball program for boys and girls, ages 5-18. Working together with local organizations, parents and volunteers, Dodgers RBI offers 2,400 youth the opportunity to learn and enjoy the games of baseball and softball with special emphasis on education, recreation and healthy habits for young people. Dodgers RBI is a cornerstone program of the LADF, the official charity of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The LADF provides uniforms and equipment, recruitment assistance, cash grants and education/health resources to all teams.
The #whiff competition is far from over. The Dodgers and their fans can still score thousands of dollars in donations through September. Continue to include “#Whiff @dodgers” in any tweet after each strikeout for the rest of the season. Tweet away …
