Washington, D.C. (Sept. 15, 2011) - Throughout the 2011 Major League Soccer season, D.C. United collects items at every home game to benefit pre-determined non-profit organizations within the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. This September, the club will collect arts and crafts supplies to benefit Starlight Children’s Foundation MidAtlantic. As a D.C. United signature program, United Drives assigns a different charity drive for each month of the MLS regular season, including the collection of games, toys, food, children’s books, and soccer equipment.

Starlight Children’s Foundation MidAtlantic helps seriously ill children and their families that are undergoing medical treatment cope with their pain, fear and isolation by providing entertainment, education and family activities.
