Tonight’s Congressional Baseball Game Has Already Raised Over $1 Million for Charity

The Congressional Baseball Game for Charity tonight has raised over $1 million so far, just one day after the horrific shooting at the GOP team’s practice.

The event has even set up an online donation page in addition to the money raised elsewhere––including the spike in ticket sales––with the proceeds benefitting the following groups:

Proceeds from tickets, sponsorships and donations will go to support the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington, Washington Literacy Center, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation and, in support of yesterday’s shooting, the Capitol Police Memorial Fund.

The game is set to start around 7 pm tonight.
