After reading about Danny’s Farm’s operational difficulties in a January L.A. Times article that and other local news sources, Baldwin got in touch with founders Cathy Gott and her husband and former Dodgers pitcher Jim Gott to offer his help.
Hay bales, a barbecue, western wear and farm animals helped set the scene, which included about 300 people, a silent auction, live auction co-lead by Baldwin and live music from The Conductors.
