No matter what the score, kids in our community win every time the Vancouver Whitecaps FC play. At their season opener on March 6th against the Montreal Impact, thanks to McMillan LLP and their Corners for Kids campaign, $1,500 was raised for children in need across the Lower Mainland. This is the second year in a row that our good friends over at McMillan are helping United Way raise much needed funds and awareness for vulnerable children in our community through Corners for Kids. Here’s how the campaign works – for every ‘Caps corner kick taken at a Whitecaps FC home match, McMillan will donate $100 to United Way! An additional $500 will be donated each time Whitecaps FC scores a goal off a corner kick. Corners for Kids brings two of McMillan’s long time passions together into one campaign: soccer and supporting United Way in its work to help children and families in need. Over the years, McMillan has raised over $338,000 for United Way, with almost $12,000 of that coming from last year’s Corners for Kids campaign. “This past year, our partnership with Vancouver Whitecaps FC has proven to be a rewarding experience for us on and, especially, off the field. We have seen a marked increase of our support of local community initiatives through the ‘Corners for Kids’ program and are looking forward to many more kicks to come this season!” said Tom Theodorakis, Office Management Partner, McMillan LLP. Next home game for the Whitecaps is this Saturday against the Houston Dynamo. Let’s all cheer the Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a win for the team and for all kids across the Lower Mainland this season!
