The Congressional Baseball Game for Charity is an annual baseball game played each summer by members of the United States Congress.

In the game, Republicans and Democrats form separate teams and play against each other.

Today, the game raises money for four charities: the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation, the Washington Literacy Center, andfollowing a pre-game practice shooting in 2017the US Capitol Police Memorial Fund.
