The Rod Dedeaux Foundation (RDF) strives to carry out his legacy by funding scholarships, programs, and services for youth in underserved areas of Los Angeles using baseball as a platform to cultivate success beyond the final out. Their mission is to impact every step of a ballplayer’s journey. They collaborate with groundbreaking beneficiaries to create equal opportunities for our city’s at-risk youth to excel on the diamond, in the classroom, and in the game of life. Embodying Rod’s fervent optimism for the communities he served, RDF is steadfast in rewriting the narrative of baseball and softball in urban America.
