In 2018 and 2019, we had phenomenal Tim Gaige Memorial Sporting Events! So much fun getting together, enjoying a sporting event, remembering Tim, and raising money for an excellent organization, Together Rising, to transform collective heartbreak into effective action!

In 2020, after the Potomac Nationals moved their stadium further south, I decided it was time for a change and planned the Third Annual Event for Audi Field, to see a D.C. United game. I was unsure what the change to soccer, and downtown DC, would bring for our event. I was clueless what a Global Pandemic would bring!

I had to cancel the 2020 event, and in 2021 and 2022, it still didn’t feel right. This year, I am ready to get us together again!

Details:

Saturday, June 24th at 7:30pm, D.C. United vs. FC Cincinnati at Audi Field

This year, we are changing up the Tim Gaige memorial sporting event in June to a DC United game! Thanks so much to everyone who came out the last two years! I love that the kids have a fun way to honor and remember Daddy while understanding the importance of giving back to our global community!

This year’s DC United game will be held at 8:00pm on Saturday June 13th, at Audi Field (100 Potomac Ave SW Washington, D.C. 20024),DC United vs. FC Cincinnati. Tim was a big fan of this team, even getting season tickets with his friend, Mark, the last season at RFK. Most unfortunately, Tim never got to a game at the new stadium. But Tim, forever a fan, has a brick at the stadium!

The link to buy tickets is below, $45 each. This year $10 of your ticket will go directly to Together Rising to help people in need. You have to use our specific link to buy tickets for it to go to the fundraiser. (And to get seats together! ) I strongly encourage buying your tickets EARLY for this! Once I figure out the best lot to park in, I will send notes to encourage carpooling and tailgating before the game.

To make it easier to spot me on arrival I plan to wear an orange tshirt again, since it was Tim’s favorite color! I would encourage you to wear orange too if you have it!

Here’s where to go to buy tickets:
