Washington, D.C.- The Congressional Sports for Charity Foundation announced this morning that the 2025 Congressional Baseball Game has raised over $2.75 million for local DMV charities and sold more than 30,000 tickets-shattering the previous attendance and fundraising records set in 2024 and marking the most successful Congressional Baseball Game to date.
"It's an exciting night as we get ready to open the gates to our largest crowd ever at Nationals Park," said Mark Johnson of the Congressional Sports for Charity Foundation. "For over a century, this game has brought Democrats and Republicans together in a shared commitment to strengthening our community. This year's record-breaking $2.75+ million raised will benefit dozens of remarkable organizations that support vulnerable children and families throughout the D.C. metro area. We're honored to be part of this great bipartisan tradition and are grateful for the continued support of our players, coaches, sponsors, and fans."
The 2025 Congressional Baseball Game for Charity by the Numbers:
Since 1909, the Congressional Baseball Game has been the only annual bipartisan showdown beloved by all and enjoyed by thousands. Members of Congress from the Senate and House team up to settle scores and 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 fundraiser for local charities that benefit children and families.
The Congressional Baseball Game's popularity has contributed to its evolution into a foundation called Congressional Sports for Charity, that supports worthy and effective Washington, D.C. area charities. These charities include the Tim Johnson Memorial Fund, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, and Washington Nationals Philanthropies.
