"We hope that ‘Adult Swim: A Dare to Be Fashionably Courageous’ will not only raise a great deal of money, but that it will also raise awareness for the great importance of programs designed to give at-risk youth a positive after-school activity. The Courage Cup has recently expanded its mission to include the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, and Loudon Do Something Now as beneficiaries, in addition to Sierra Club's Inner City Outings in Washington, DC and Work to Ride in Philadelphia, PA. Our Leadership Committee looks forward to working with GEICO, The Rost Foundation, and these new beneficiaries in hosting The Courage Cup, the grand summer polo event that is enjoyed by so many again next year,” said Andrea Rodgers, President and CEO of the Courage Cup.

The roof top pool parties have been one of the most talked about Sunday parties in the District, bringing over 400 Washingtonians out every Sunday to experience a ‘South Beach’ style event Capitol side at the Liaison’s beautiful roof top pool. According to the Washington Post, “no one has managed to bring the high-end lounge atmosphere alfresco like the creators of Adult Swim, the Sunday afternoon party atop the Hill's Liaison hotel. “ This Sunday’s event will not fail to bring that “high-end lounge atmosphere alfresco” once again. A suggested donation of $10-$20 will be asked at the door from 1p.m- 3p.m with proceeds from the event going to benefit The Courage Cup, for more information go to www.dcpoolparty.com.
