Join us on April 25th for a social evening dinner in collaboration with the Dining Out For Life® annual fundraising event. Dining Out For Life® is an annual dining fundraising event raising money for community-based organizations serving people living with or impacted by HIV. The concept is simple: Restaurants donate a generous percent of their sales to a local HIV service organization, and the local HIV service organization fills participating restaurants with diners.

Night OUT at the Nationals

Posted on by
Washington's Gay Sports Connection. Team DC

Hello Nats Fans! This year’s Team DC Night OUT at the Nationals takes place on Tuesday, June 4, 2019, when the Washington Nationals take on the Chicago White Sox at Nationals Park.  Pre-game activities will begin at 5 PM, and game time is 7:10 PM. This will be the 15th Anniversary game and we will definitely have some special events as a result.

We’d love for your group to join us this year either as an “All Star Partner” (ASP), or as one our smaller groups, so we can help promote your brand/organization at the event you’ve helped us build as one of the largest LGBTQ events in professional sports.

Attached is a sheet explaining the benefits of being an ASP. Cost savings, convenience, the chance to go on to the field for pre-game activities, etc. Something new this year is that everyone who purchases a ticket to the Night OUT at the Nationals through Team DC or through our special online link will receive a 2019 Night OUT shirt featuring the Washington Nationals official logo.

Don’t worry though if you aren’t a 50+ group. We will still work with you and make sure we take care of your group as best we can with regard to ticket pricing, seating, etc.

If interested, please email Lambda PTO for more information. Go Nats!
