United for D.C. is excited to begin the third annual United Community Grants cycle. Last year alone, United for D.C. distributed almost $85,000 in grants to six local organizations, assisting established groups expand their urban soccer programming and helping new organizations create inner-city programs. We look forward to receiving another round of quality applications this cycle.

We are very excited about the support that our fans have given to this program over the past few years. United Drives collects thousands of items throughout the course of the season to benefit various non-profit organizations, including our very own United for D.C., and directly impacts thousands of youth and families throughout the District and the overall region.

United is thrilled to be able to come out to Payne Elementary to kick off the start of our fourth season of United Reads. I think our players and staff look forward to these visits as much as the kids do. We all are avid readers, and to be able to spread that message along with providing new books to the kids is a blessing we embrace.

We are very pleased with the great turnout we will entertain on Tuesday. We're very thankful our fans and sponsors for their support of D.C. United and United for D.C. The revenue generated from this great event will go to help many underprivileged and disadvantaged youth in the D.C. area.
