More than 6,000 babies are born each year at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and the LA Dodgers would like all of them to be Dodgers fans. The Dodgers, who have reached three World Series in the last 10 years, were looking for a creative way to recruit new fans, and bring a few more “awwws” to the stadium.

Cedars-Sinai is already an official sponsor of the LA Dodgers. The two joined forces with Boundless Brand Consultant, Peter Weinstein, to create a promotion that raised brand awareness and connected fans on social media.
