The 5th annual game will be held on Wednesday, June 26th at 7:00 p.m. The game has raised over $250,000 in the past five years to support young women diagnosed with breast cancer. “I am really looking forward to joining my fellow colleagues on the field,” said Heitkamp, a breast cancer survivor. “Most importantly, this is a time to set political differences aside so we can raise awareness for breast cancer and support the Young Survival Coalition.” The Congressional Women’s Softball game brings together women from both sides of the aisle to raise public awareness around young women and breast cancer, as well as critical funds to help the Young Survival Coalition address the unique needs facing young women diagnosed with this disease. The game was founded in 2009 by Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), a young breast cancer survivor herself. Now in its fifth year, the game continues to emphasize a bi-partisan commitment to women’s health and fighting breast cancer. The women Members of Congress will be captained by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). The DC Press Corps (aka Bad News Babes) will be captained by Dana Bash, CNN; Carrie Budoff Brown, Politico; Brianna Keiler, CNN; Abby Livingston, CQ Roll Call and Amy Walter, Cook Political Report.
