Kid Captains: Malia and Noah Kumar

37f55e95-1493-40a9-a1ba-74a1ec1d564f

Whitecaps FC are honoured to have Malia and Noah Kumar from BC Transplant as Kid Captains for Saturday's home match against Toronto FC.

Malia and Noah Kumar have taken on the Live Life, Pass It On campaign through BC Transplant, after the sudden passing of their mother, Anju, in 2019. Anju was a registered organ donor and saved eight lives following her passing. Malia and Noah have a goal to get 150 donors registered through their campaign, and to raise awareness around the importance of organ donation. Their dad, Neville, is very proud of both his kids for taking this project on, and for helping to continue their mom’s legacy.

Please join in welcoming Malia and Noah to the match! Anyone interested in registering to become an organ donor can find BC Transplant on the concourse at section 227.
