What Is the CTA Beer Pong Tournament at Dacha Shaw?
The CTA Annual Beer Pong Tournament is a fundraising event hosted at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw in support of the Capital Classic 2026, the annual tournament run by the Capital Tennis Association (CTA) and affiliated with the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance (GLTA). It combines competitive beer pong with a community fundraising mission, drawing players and supporters together on the Dacha Shaw patio in the heart of Shaw, Washington DC. Every entry fee is a direct donation to the cause.
The event takes place on August 11th at 6 PM at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw, 1600 7th Street NW, Washington DC 20001. A $10 donation enters you in the tournament, and a $20 donation adds an extended happy hour to your evening, along with the chance to win prizes and claim the title of CTA's 2026 Beer Pong Champion.
Who Benefits: The Wanda Alston Foundation
Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Wanda Alston Foundation, a DC-based nonprofit that provides housing and support services for homeless LGBTQ+ youth. The Capital Classic is held annually to raise funds and awareness for the foundation, and the CTA Beer Pong Tournament is one of the community events that feeds directly into that effort. Shaw and the broader DC community have long supported this work, and Dacha Beer Garden Shaw is proud to serve as the venue for this year's fundraiser.
The Capital Tennis Association organizes Capital Classic as part of its ongoing commitment to the GLTA mission and DC's LGBTQ+ community. More information about the event and registration is available at capital-tennis.org.
