Taylor’s Surprise with the Washington Spirit

We know kids miss out on a lot of their childhood while battling cancer, and our goal at Children’s National is to get them back to doing what they love, including playing soccer like Taylor. We partnered with the ‪Washington Spirit to bring Taylor an incredible behind-the-scenes experience with the players at practice and celebrated her as the honorary captain for the Spirit’s cancer awareness game.
