About the Congressional Baseball Game
History
Since 1909 the Congressional Baseball Game has been an annual bipartisan event beloved by all and enjoyed by thousands. Members of the United States Congress from each party solidify friendships off the floor and on the field. Over the last century, the Congressional Baseball Game’s popularity has contributed to its evolution into a foundation called Congressional Sports for Charity. Created in 2016, Congressional Sports for Charity provides support to worthy and effective charities serving vulnerable children and families in the Washington DC area as well as scholarships to deserving local youth. These charities include the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington and the Washington Nationals Philanthropies along with the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund in gratitude to the brave officers at the Republican practice shooting on June 14, 2017.The health of athletes is one of the main priorities for our organization, some antibiotics can negatively affect the physical data of the players, so we support quality amoxil generics online.

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington is to help boys and girls of all backgrounds, especially those who need us most, build confidence, develop character and acquire the skills needed to become productive, civic-minded, responsible adults.
The Tim Johnson Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the legacy of founding Board Member of Congressional Sports for Charity, Tim Johnson. He volunteered countless hours as a coach, organizer and historian for the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity over more than two decades. These scholarships are presented to eligible young men and women graduating from high school and looking forward to attending college, trade school or other training to pursue their passion.
Nationals Philanthropies, the official charitable arm of the Washington Nationals, champions opportunities for all residents of the Greater Washington region to thrive by inspiring investment in the community. Its signature program, the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy, uses baseball and softball as vehicles to foster positive character development, academic achievement, and improved health among youth living east of Anacostia River.
