The 91st annual Congressional Baseball Game took place on the Capitol Hill grounds, where lawmakers from both parties gathered for a spirited yet collegial contest that supports local charities.
The game set a new fundraising high, breaking ticket‑sale and donation records to raise more than $2.75 million for community projects, a testament to its growing importance in the charitable landscape.
Sponsors and Their Missions
The Ripon Society, a think tank advocating national security, lower taxes and a smaller government, partnered with the Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange, an organization that promotes international dialogue through conferences and events, to sponsor the game.
Their collaboration highlights how private‑sector policy ideas and global policy discussions can converge on the baseball diamond to fund vital local initiatives, reinforcing a message of unity that resonates beyond the field.
