Dodgers Announce Second Hello Kitty Giveaway
Courtesy LA Dodgers
Due to popular demand, the Dodgers have added a Hello Kitty tote bag as a giveaway on Sept. 5 against the San Diego Padres. The first 30,000 fans will receive the tote bag. The Dodgers and Hello Kitty have had a good relationship the last two seasons. The first giveaway was a Hello Kitty plush doll included in limited edition ticket package for the final weekend home series last season. Incidentally on the Sunday of that series that brought out Hello Kitty, Keroppi, My Melody and Chococat for Fan Appreciation Day, the Dodgers served a 15-1 thrashing of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
On July 1, a Hello Kitty mini bobblehead giveaway completely sold out, a 8-3 victory over the Mets during the low point of the Dodger season.
Fans can purchase tickets to the September 5 game by visiting www.dodgers.com/promotions or by calling 866-DODGERS. Who knows what the power of Hello Kitty and her friends can do.
