WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the Congressional Women’s Softball Game (CWSG) organizing committee announced the rosters for its tenth annual game, which will take place on June 20, 2018. To view this year’s full roster, click here.

Ticket sales and sponsorships are still available through the game on June 20th. To date, the CWSG has raised over one million dollars for our charity, the Young Survival Coalition, to benefit young women under 40 who have been diagnosed with breast cancer – a disease no woman should have to face alone. To RSVP for press credentials, please email Rachel@congwomensoftball.com.

“We are thrilled about this year's rosters, and we're so proud to once again come together in a bipartisan way to beat cancer,” CWSG President and Treasurer Atalie Ebersole said. “The game is an important opportunity for women leaders to raise money for an important cause that is close to all of our hearts.”
