USO partnership strengthens, aiding American military personnel through our joint website
On July 27, 2025, Audi Field hosted a special event that brought together D.C. United players, USO volunteers, colleagues from a global AI-led professional services firm, and their families. This event, known as Family Field Day, was a significant part of the USO Care Package Program.
The USO Care Package Program, a collaboration between the professional services firm, the USO, and D.C. United, aimed to assemble 2,000 USO Care Packages. These packages, designed for durability and military compatibility, are filled with healthy snacks and hygiene products.
Lisa Marie Riggins, Regional President for the USO Southeast Region, expressed her gratitude for events like Family Field Day, stating that they allow communities to show appreciation, give back, and deliver a piece of home to those serving far away.
The USO Care Package Program traces its origins to World War II, when citizens sent comforting items to troops abroad. Today, the kits are modernized, offering deployed troops a tangible reminder of home. In 2024, the program delivered nearly 350,000 kits across 90 countries.
Ryan McKeon, a Partner in the professional services firm's Defense & Security segment and USO Mid-Atlantic Advisory Council member, emphasised that the event was a meaningful way to thank U.S. military service members. He added that the event reflected the firm's culture of connection, bringing employees and their families together.
The professional services firm operates in the commercial and government sectors, focusing on healthcare, financial services, energy, infrastructure, and national security markets. With approximately 18,000 professionals, the firm's partnership with the USO reflects a shared commitment to service, impact, and community.
The USO, founded in 1941, is a non-profit organisation that provides support to U.S. service members and their families. Events like Family Field Day and the USO Care Package Program are testaments to the organisation's enduring mission to boost the morale of troops serving both at home and abroad.
