The Jonas Brothers have joined with The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation to help raise funds for The Children's National Medical Center. As part of Sunday's July 5th Second Annual Children's Day at Nationals Park, a silent auction will take place for four tickets to The Jonas Brothers Concert scheduled at Verizon Center on July 13th. The winning bidder's group will also have a "Meet & Greet" with The Jonas Brothers.

WASHINGTON NATIONALS DREAM FOUNDATION HOSTS CHILDREN’S DAY AT NATIONALS PARK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN’S NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Silent Auction for Jonas Brothers Tickets to Be Held At Foundation Kiosk

The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation will host the second annual Children’s Day, on Sunday, July 5 when the Nationals face the Atlanta Braves at 1:35pm, to raise funds for Children’s National Medical Center and awareness of their mission. The Foundation has partnered with Children’s National to create a Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex, which will enable the hospital to strengthen and enhance its long-standing role as a national leader in pediatric diabetes care.

The Dream Foundation will raise funds through a silent auction, Text-to-Give promotion, and ticket sales. The auction will take place at the Foundation Kiosk from 11:30am through the sixth inning, in the Center Field Plaza, and features four tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert at the Verizon Center on Monday, July 13. The package includes a meet-and-greet with the Jonas Brothers. All proceeds from the auction will go towards the creation of the Diabetes Care Complex. Nick Jonas, 15-year old vocalist and guitar and drum player for the band, has Type 1 diabetes and seeks to inspire children living with diabetes. Nick also filmed a PSA for the day’s Text-to-Give promotion to be shown during the game. Fans in attendance or watching from home may text “NATS” to 90999 to make a $5 donation through their cell phone provider. Additionally, fans interested in supporting the cause may purchase tickets at www.nationals.com/cnmc.

A portion of the proceeds from all tickets purchased through that link will benefit the Complex.

“The Nationals Dream Foundation is thankful that the Jonas Brothers have joined us and Children’s National Medical Center to make Children’s Day at Nationals Park a success,” said Nationals Dream Foundation Chair Marla Lerner Tanenbaum. “Every donation brings us closer to our fundraising goal of $5 million and brings us closer to the groundbreaking on the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex.”

Children with diabetes who are treated at Children’s National Medical Center will participate in pregame festivities, including first pitch, line-up card delivery, “Starting 9” and Play Ball! announcement.
