Ed Sheeran would headline the gala, and SportsNet LA reporter Kirsten Watson will serve as the host. DJ Pee.Wee (Anderson.Paak) will entertain guests at the reception party.
Dodgers’ owner Mark Walter emphasized the organization’s commitment to serving Los Angeles, and he welcomed Sheeran to the group of past performers who have helped raise funds for Angelenos.
The proceeds from the event will support the LADF’s programs and initiatives to improve education, healthcare, homelessness, and social justice.
Since its inception, LADF has invested over $60 million in the Los Angeles community.
Previous Blue Diamond Gala performers include Usher, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, Earth Wind & Fire, Fleetwood Mac, John Legend, and Jennifer Lopez.
Fans reacted as follows:
Is this a marriage or a business deal? Trevor Bauer stands closer than that with his sports agent.

All that money and he's wearing an off-the-rack suit from JC Penny..
I think his translator might have stolen more than they're leading on— bluehorseshoe444 🇺🇲🇨🇦 (@BlueH0rsesh0e) May 3, 2024
I don’t know why but why does he remind me of Phil Jackson in that suit? 😭

Can somebody please find Shohei a jacket that fits him. He looks like the kid from Big when Tom Hanks shrinks down.

Large suits are back baby! He just needs to buy an extra wide tie with his Kohl’s cash.
