ARLINGTON, Va. – So Kids Can members announced today a sweepstakes and the addition of Pierre-Luc Dubois to the initiative. Dubois joins Martin Fehervary, Tom Wilson and Elliot in the Morning’s Elliot Segal in the cause. During the 2025-26 season, So Kids Can will raise funds for the Washington, D.C., based nonprofit Go Play DC.
