Aluminum Industry in Action
Aluminum Week: Aluminum (Bats!) Ring Out at Congressional Women's Softball Game
The team had a great time sponsoring the Congressional Women’s Softball Game. Members of Congress and the Washington, D.C. press corps battled it out at Audi Field (swinging aluminum bats, no less) to raise funds and awareness for young women battling breast cancer. (The game was called early for rain with Team Congress ahead 5 – 3.) As part of our sponsorship, we handed out “Recycle Your Cans” koozies, “Aluminum Makes America” fans and a few fun stickers. The 17th annual game raised more than $650,000 for the Young Survival Coalition this year, and we were glad to be a part of it!
