On Saturday night, Atlanta United recorded their second-straight MLS clean sheet as they defeated the Columbus Crew 2-0, which means another $2,000 will be donated to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation, helping to shut-out autism. In partnership with Children’s, the club has now raised a total $8,000 through four clean sheets on the year and will hope to add to that total as they continue the journey through their inaugural season.
