Monumental Sports commitment to the health and vibrancy of this arena, neighborhood, and city is evidenced by the most ambitious charitable effort the company has ever undertaken: District of Play. Announced recently, this multi-million-dollar investment is designed to break down the barriers which prevent kids in D.C. from playing sports by providing safe play spaces, empowering players and engaging parents, coaches and the community. Monumental’s plan is to transform access and opportunity in youth sports as Capital One Arena undergoes its own transformation.
District of Play is Monumental Sports’ most ambitious youth sports initiative to date, ensuring that we leave a positive and lasting legacy for D.C.’s children. Our multi-million-dollar investment reflects our commitment to the city’s future. We are partnering with community leaders, coaches, and organizations to refurbish sports facilities, remove economic barriers, and offer inclusive programming across the District. From court and rink renovations to providing scholarships and equipment, our goal is to ensure that every young person, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to participate in sports and enjoy the physical, mental, and emotional benefits that come with it.
