Sponsored by Mattel, Inc., the fun-filled, family day includes unlimited rides and carnival games stocked with prizes donated by Mattel; arts and crafts such as face painting; photos with Barbie; and autographs from celebrity guests. The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation is also hosting a Dodger-themed VIP area with lunch donated by Wolfgang Puck Catering.

All guests will enjoy an exciting silent auction area compliments of Toys ‘R Us, featuring items in travel, sports, entertainment, food & wine, fashion and art, such as Dodger dugout seats; private catered dinners; tickets to the Jennifer Lopez show in Las Vegas; a Deer Valley getaway; movie premiere tickets; and a 1 year subscription to FoodStirs, a specialty curated, kid-friendly line of baking and decorating kits launching this October by Co-Founder & Chief Mom, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
