The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, through their COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund, today announced a $30,000 donation to the Aberdeen FC Community Trust (AFCCT) to help fund COVID-19 emergency relief efforts in North East Scotland.
Atlanta United, which is owned by Arthur Blank, announced a strategic partnership with Scottish club Aberdeen FC last November, geared towards boosting soccer and commercial operations for both clubs.
“It has been wonderful to see how Aberdeen FC and the AFC Community Trust have supported and galvanized the Aberdeen community in these difficult times,” said Atlanta United president Darren Eales. “Giving back is one of Atlanta United’s founding pillars, and a core value we share with our partner club.
