The District Cup
June 22, 2019
The National Mall in Washington, DC is the American welcome mat to the world. But the beloved yet well-worn National Mall hosted more than 35 million visits last year but requires more than $800 million in needed upgrades –more than any national park.
On Saturday, June 22, 500+ people gathered at the National Mall for the The District Cup Annual Polo Match & Beneficiary Event. The premier annual polo match on “America’s Front Yard”, brings communities together to enjoy a day of fellowship and philanthropy.
The 2019 beneficiary of the District Cup is the Trust for the National Mall's Campaign to Rebuild the U.S. Park Police Horse Stables. Built more than 40 years ago as a temporary facility, the stables on the National Mall are in disrepair.
The Jack-Rich Family Foundation was honored to join Sheila Johnson, Chip & Sally Akridge, Net Jets and Nacho Figueras in supporting the National Mall.
