It’s that time of year! Dolores Catania is gearing up for her annual Battle for Brooklyn charity baseball game. Once again, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is bringing faces from all across the Bravoverse, and the lineup is making us yearn even harder for Season 15. Find out who’s a part of this year’s team and the two good causes that will benefit from the game.
All RHONJ cast members will attend Dolores Catania’s 2025 softball charity game, except Teresa Giudice
In past years, Bravo cameras were in tow as Dolores brought out the stars for the charity baseball game, which sees her all-star squad take on a team of healthcare professionals from New York’s Maimonides Breast Center.
This year’s game won’t be on Bravo. Dolores revealed the “star-studded” lineup for the 2025 charity game, and it’s like a mini RHONJ reunion. She’s bringing nearly all of her old castmates, including Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral, Jenn Fesler, and Rachel Fuda.
Noticeably absent from the lineup are Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, and Jackie Goldschneider. Since this is for charity, we don’t want to look too much into it, but it’s almost as if nothing has changed since the cameras stopped rolling for Season 14. You can be the judge of that.
Other famous faces Dolores recruited for this year’s game include her Traitors costars, Dorinda Medley and Bob Harper. She’s also got a couple of non-New Jersey Housewives in the lineup with Guerdy Abraira and Kelly Bensimon. It’s a solid team, right?
According to the Brooklyn Paper, last year’s charity game brought in over $100,000 for the Maimonides Breast Center. The funds helped them invest in technology for early detection and treatment. They’re hoping to do the same this year, and they’re also partnering with NBCU’s Clear the Shelters campaign, so expect to see some doggies up for adoption at the game.
“I like for people to get together to do something good because it evokes happiness for everyone,” Dolores told the outlet. “And then the money we raise for the hospital, as well as hopefully one of our fur babies coming, will get adopted.”
The Battle for Brooklyn goes down on Wednesday, August 6, at Maimonides Park in Coney Island. Tickets are available at www.battle4bklyn.org
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
