Charity
Giving Back to Our Community
At the end of each season, our top teams are awarded donations to give to a charity of their choice. Below are some of the organizations we have made donations to so far.
We would like to thank TagDog for helping raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project during our Summer '09 season. Each time TagDog gets tagged on Facebook a donation is made to the charity of the month. So, tag yourselves, tag the Dog, and of course join the group Friends of DC Bocce.
Please also take a moment to remember our friend Paul Agosto, say hello to Ben's Chili Bowl and Teaching for Change and check out their celebratory event at Ben's Next Door, thank our Troops for thier service, and send best wishes to our Iraqi Exhange Student friends.
