D.C. United announced today that its charitable arm, United for D.C. will host a happy hour fundraising event at The Iron Horse Taproom on Wednesday, November 9. Partnering with D.C. United and Yuengling, the event will support Razoo’s “Give to the Max Day” initiative. In addition, United midfielder Chris Pontius will be onsite from 7:00-8:30 p.m. 

Razoo’s “Give to the Max Day” will take place on November 9, uniting local Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. communities to support nonprofit organizations serving the area. Razoo’s goal is to get thousands of local residents to support their favorite regional charity, raising millions in donations and grants in just 24 hours. Razoo will offer several cash incentives to inspire nonprofit and donor participation in the day of giving.

United for D.C.’s Happy Hour fundraising event will run from 5:00-9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9 at The Iron Horse Taproom. The focus of United’s charitable arm will be fundraising for its signature program, United Soccer Club, with the goal of reaching $10,000 by the end of Wednesday night.

Founded in 2002, United for D.C. serves youth and families with a focus on healthy lifestyles, literacy and education, and improving life skills.  United Soccer Club, sponsored by the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Volkswagen, Gallup and The D.C. Department of Health, is one of the many community outreach ventures of United for D.C. Others include the Kicks for Kids program, through which thousands of underprivileged children will have an opportunity to watch United play this season, as well as United Reads, currently presented in six DC elementary schools. This program distributes nearly 8,000 books during player visits throughout the year.
