This year, we’re very excited to be a Media Sponsor at Ball on the Mall, the largest party on the biggest green space in town.

Hosted by the Trust for the National Mall, Ball on the Mall is a great way to give back to the city we all love and enjoy. If you ever played there on an office softball team, a little college tag football, a kickball night here and there or just tossed the frisbee, now is your chance to give back. As one of our greatest treasures and just one more thing that makes living in this city amazing, the National Mall needs a little help now and again too. And why not do that in style? See you at the year’s most monumental party. We’ll be on the dance floor.
