Overview The Congressional Pickleball Match puts sitting members of Congress on court against VIPs, in its inaugural year. Honorary co-chairs are drawn from both chambers and both parties, and match play runs alongside a VIP reception. Proceeds benefit the preservation of the National Mall and other charitable organizations. On site Center Court hosts the match play, ringed by courtside seating and bleacher sections, with a pre and post reception held nearby. On-site and digital signage runs around Center Court throughout the event. Talent and Influencers Honorary congressional co-chairs Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Senator Joni Ernst, Senator Andy Kim, Representative Jake Ellzey and Representative Jimmy Panetta take part in match play with VIPs. Brand presence Top-tier sponsors choose between an on-site activation with a signature tent or hosting the pre-event reception under their own logo and branding, placing their name at the center of the VIP experience alongside signage on Center Court.
