No matter what the score last year, kids in our community won every time the Vancouver Whitecaps FC played. Thanks to a partnership with McMillan LLP and their Corners for Kids campaign, altogether $13,200 was raised to help vulnerable children in our community. Here’s how: for every ‘Caps corner kick taken at a Whitecaps FC home match, McMillan donated $100 to United Way; an additional $500 was donated each time Whitecaps FC scored a goal off a corner kick. The Corners for Kids campaign raised $1,200 more than in 2015, the first year that McMillan ran this innovative campaign. Altogether, McMillan LLP donated $18,030 to United Way. “It’s a perfect match,” said Tom Theodorakis, Office Management Partner, McMillan LLP. “Corners for Kids brings together two of our long-time passions: soccer and supporting United Way in its work to help children and families in need.” Let’s all cheer the Vancouver Whitecaps FC and wish them a kicking 2017 season!
