While we were unable to return our gala to its traditional format, there was still so much to celebrate in 2021. For one year only, Nationals Philanthropies transitioned its signature fundraising event to feature the holistic and unprecedented food access program executed in response to COVID-19 by hosting an outdoor event at Nationals Park, featuring the high-quality and delicious food delivered to the community last year.
As part of the event, the Nationals gave the Power of Baseball Award, presented by JPMorgan Chase, to World Central Kitchen in recognition of its contributions to the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The award, accepted by World Central Kitchen CEO Nate Mook, annually recognizes an individual, corporation, organization, or local group that embodies the positive character and level of achievement exemplified throughout the game of baseball.
