(RBI)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">So every time a Dodger pitcher records a whiff, or you see a whiff from anyone wearing a Dodger uniform, we encourage you to tweet using the hashtag <em><strong><a href="mailto:#Whiff@Dodgers">#Whiff@Dodgers</a>. </strong></em>Or basically the hashtag of <strong>#Whiff</strong> followed by the team&#8217;s twitter handle. Head &amp; Shoulders will donate ten thousand dollars at the end of each month to the MLB team with the most tweets using the hashtag #Whiff and their team handle.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;">You can also use the hashtag #Whiff followed by a Dodger player’s twitter handle as well.  (have they freed Jhair’s twitter yet?) You can always tweet <strong>#Whiff</strong> followed by <strong>@Dodgers</strong> whenever you feel the need to help out. Lasorda’s Lair and Head &amp; Shoulders encourage you to join in the conversation and contribute to the cause whenever you see a Dodger whiff.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">If <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kershcl01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Clayton Kershaw</a></strong> is on the mound then that can turn out to be a really great day for the kids, bless their little Blue hearts. </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">We encourage you to help us and participate all season long, as the season of the<strong> #Whiff</strong> continues!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">You can find more information about the program <a title="Season of The Whiff" href="http://smp.newshq.businesswire.com/pages/head-shoulders-and-mane-man-cj-wilson-declare-2013-season-whiff" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Please don’t forget to use the hashtag <strong>#Whiff</strong> followed by the Dodgers twitter handle every time you see a Dodger strikeout. Each tweet helps donate more money to the program. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Please help out the cause! </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">We&#8217;ve seen some of the charity work of <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gonzaad01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Adrian Gonzalez</a></strong> this fall. <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/billich01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Chad Billingsley</a></strong> visits kids in the local hospital. Of course the amazing <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kershcl01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Clayton Kershaw</a></strong> builds orphanages in Africa, but let’s not forget that <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kempma01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Matt Kemp</a></strong> is no slouch himself in the charity work department.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_8084" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 422px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/75/files/2013/01/6635138.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8084" title="Matt Kemp" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/75/files/2013/01/6635138.jpg" alt="" width="412" height="550" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Matt Kemp will be on hand for the MLK parade-Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Bison has a long list of past charity endeavors. If you remember Bison did a dreamfield dedication in the city of Compton back in 2007, Christmas visits to Watts, and the city if Hope hospital in Duarte, and his 2008 program called “Kemp’s Kids”, where he hosted kids at Dodger Stadium. Kemp has raised over 400,000 dollars for families with Autistic children, at his annual spring training fundraiser, and there was also the Dodger’s community caravan, and his participation in the Dodgers dream foundation bowling extravaganza. </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Kemp was honored for his charity work last winter, along with Kershaw with a legacy award, by the Negro Leagues Museum. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The good cheer will continue when Kemp will be the celebrity grand marshal in the 28 annual Kingdom day parade to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Kemp who is making great progress during his shoulder rehabilitation, will be joined by a slew of former Dodgers. The list will include <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/castibo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Bobby Castillo</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=davisto02,davisto03&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Tommy Davis</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/ferraal01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Al Ferrara</a></strong>, Sweet <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnslo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Lou Johnson</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lacyle01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Lee Lacy</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/landrke01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Ken Landreaux</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=learyti01,leary-002tim&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Tim Leary</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/parkewe01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Wes Parker</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/powelde01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Dennis Powell</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thomade01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Derrel Thomas</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/willsma01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-lasordaslair.com" target="_blank">Maury Wills</a></strong>. Apparently all of the former Dodgers will be riding in the back of a firetruck. A Dodger firetruck if you will. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The Dodgers are a sponsor of the parade which will feature the theme of “His dream will never die”. The parade starts at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Western Avenue, and will be televised live on KABC Channel 7. The parade will begin this Saturday morning at 10:30 A.M.</span></p>
