United Drives

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.

Process

  • D.C. United will have a United Drives effort each month of the Major League Soccer regular season.
  • A collection location will be set up outside of Gate A at RFK Stadium.
  • The collection will begin two hours prior to kickoff.
  • The collection will end fifteen (15) minutes into start of the game.
  • Each donor will receive a "United Drives Buy One, Get One Free" ticket voucher, redeemable for that day's match or any other MLS regular season home game.

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