United Drives

2008 Schedule | Drive Details

United Drives benefits worthy non-profit organizations in the area by collecting much-needed items to help with each beneficiary's mission. This initiative assigns a different charity drive for each month of the 2008 regular season, including the collection of soccer equipment, food, children's books, and school supplies.

Each month during the 2008 Major League Soccer season, D.C. United will collect items at every United home game to benefit pre-determined non-profit organizations within the Washington, D.C. area. These donations will be collected outside of Gate A, and fans who contribute an item will receive a "Buy One, Get One Free" ticket voucher, good for selected 2008 D.C. United regular season home games.

For more information on the United Drives initiative or any of D.C. United's community relations programs, please call (202) 587-5000.
