Verizon and the Washington Nationals announced a new marketing and philanthropic partnership, solidifying Verizon as a proud partner of the Nationals. This strategic alliance unlocks significant potential for both partners to build and enhance an unforgettable experience for Nationals fans, as well as bolster contributions to the community in the District of Columbia and beyond. More than Verizon signage at Nationals Park and on the team's beloved bullpen cart, the company's sponsorship extends to creating one-of-a-kind fan experiences.

Additionally, Verizon will expand its existing support of Washington Nationals Philanthropies, the team's charitable arm, which aims to help children, families and communities to thrive through sports-based youth development and access to healthy food. Verizon and the Nationals are both passionate supporters of the Washington D.C. community, and this alliance will allow both organizations to strengthen their programming and impact locally. To celebrate this partnership, Verizon is rolling out sweepstakes for Nationals fans, where one lucky winner will receive a pair of tickets to all remaining regular season home games in 2024, along with exclusive fan experiences at the ballpark, including access to a stadium tour, batting practice, a player meet-and-greet and more.

Fans can enter by visiting their local Washington D.C.-area Verizon store beginning on July 20 and can learn more at VerizonNats Sweeps.com. Additionally, the first 10 fans in each store that day will receive a free gift with purchase, and throughout the season, Verizon Access will continue to provide fans exclusive experiences and access. As a partner that shares the team's commitment to supporting the greater D.C. community, Verizon will be the red carpet sponsor of the 2025 Nationals Homecoming Gala - the largest annual fundraising event of Washington Nationals Philanthropies- and invest in the work of the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy.

Every year, the Academy delivers holistic development and baseball/softball programming to more than 1,000 D.C. youth at no cost to participants. Verizon's support of Nationals Academy since its opening in 2014 has helped fuel its ability to serve more than 6,000 youth over the last decade.
