This Sunday, the Washington Nationals and MLB.com will debut the use of "mobile giving" to benefit the creation of a Diabetes Care Complex for Children's National Medical Center.
Here's how it works: Fans can text the word "NATS" to 90999 to give $5 to support the work of Children's National Medical Center to fight pediatric diabetes, a growing concern in the Washington area and nationwide.
While the July 13 game against the Houston Astros is the public launch of this initiative, people can donate between July 10th and July 31st.
MLB.com, the Nationals, and Children's National Medical Center are partnering with the Mobile Giving Foundation, which enables nonprofits to accept donations from almost any phone and major cellular providers.

Quite a disappointing game, but the mobile donation part was great. I'm looking forward to the All Star Game where there will be another mobile giving campaign.
