Toast the 'Bad News Babes' softball champs, July 3 in Truman Lounge

Let’s toast National Press Club members Abby Livingston of the Texas Tribune, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, Shawna Thomas of Vice News and Sarah Wire of the Los Angeles Times and their fellow members of the Bad News Babes softball team at a celebration happy hour from 6:30 pm to 8:30 p.m. July 3 in the Club's Truman Lounge.

The celebration will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Regular happy hour specials of $3.50 beer and wine, and $3.55 for rail liquor cocktails apply.

The Bad News Babes press team had a 5-0 victory over the Members of Congress team at the 10th annual Congressional Women’s Softball Game on June 20. The event raised more than $320,000 for the Young Survival Coalition, an organization dedicated to women under the age of 35 when diagnosed with breast cancer. For more details, click here.

The press team will bring their trophy to the Club before it begins its newsroom tour of the roster’s reporters. After each organization gets its turn, the trophy will return to the Club later this summer for display until next year’s game.
