2020 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Anthem at District Wharf
MARCH 23, 2020
In 2019, we shifted our signature fundraising event to the start of the season and debuted at a new location— The Anthem at District Wharf. The response was tremendous! The sold-out event hosted over 850 attendees to welcome home the Washington Nationals with a flashy red carpet takeover of Wharf Street and celebrate our Power of Baseball Award honorees, the inaugural graduating class of eighth-grade Scholar Athletes from the Youth Baseball Academy. Together, we raised nearly $1.1 million to support the community-based programs and philanthropic initiatives of the Nationals foundation.
By sponsoring the 2020 Nationals Homecoming Gala, you are directly supporting the philanthropic division of the Washington Nationals. Your donations will support our pursuit to become the leading philanthropic organization
in professional sports through initiatives including:
• Programming through the Youth Baseball Academy
• Grants to community partners
• Community improvement projects
• Expanded impact of player philanthropy
• Engagement with the Nationals fan base
TOGETHER, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation and Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy have harnessed the power of baseball to deliver tangible opportunity for area youth in underserved communities and meaningful community impact in the greater metro area. Through the generosity of Nationals fans, player philanthropy, corporate champions, and community partners, this collective philanthropic enterprise can fuel even greater good for a better Washington.
For the latest news and information, follow the foundation and Academy at @NatsAcademy on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation is pleased to invite you to join us for the 2020 HOMECOMING GALA.

On March 23, we will celebrate the return of baseball to Washington—welcoming home the 2020 Washington Nationals and introducing more about the foundation’s strategic work to enhance and extend its impact across the region.
The not-to-be-missed event will once again be hosted at The Anthem and feature a red carpet, activations around District Wharf, live entertainment, cocktail reception followed by a dinner program and live auction, and an exclusive after party. The Nationals Homecoming Gala will be the team’s premier off-the-field event.
HOST COMMITTEE The Host Committee provides essential leadership for a successful event and includes distinguished participants across a variety of industries. We are currently forming the Homecoming Gala 2020 Host Committee of volunteers interested in fundraising for the event.
