Gentle Reminder: Becky’s Fund at Nationals Ballpark, July 3rd

Becky’s Fund and the (winning!) Washington Nationals invite you to the nationally broadcast evening baseball game on July 3, 2009 against the Atlanta Braves for “Domestic Violence Awareness Day at the Park.”

Vice President Joe Biden has been selected as the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from Becky’s Fund and will be presented (or his surrogate) with the award that evening in front of a live audience of more than 20,000 fans. By highlighting domestic violence and honoring the sponsors and supporters of the Violence Against Women Act and the reauthorization of VAWA in 2010 at this event, Becky’s Fund hopes to bring awareness to this issue and generate grassroots support for both local and federal efforts working on domestic violence.

Autographed items, t-shirts and more will be raffled, along with an opportunity to join the Nats for batting practice. Sponsorship packages are still available – please e-mail becky@beckysfund.org for information on how to purchase them. For groups of 20 or more, please contact Katherine Mitchell 202-640-7649 or katherine.mitchell@nationals.com.
