Union honor Shining Star Kaiden Wagman

The Philadelphia Union honored a special member of their team on Thursday evening during the annual NBC Sports Philadelphia Shining Start Awards benefiting the March of Dimes.

The event showcased numerous children including Union fan Kaiden Wagman, an eight-year-old who as a result of being born prematurely suffers from cerebral palsy, ADHD, epilepsy & autism. Despite the plethora of things that could hold him back, Kaiden doesn’t let any of that slow him down at all. Last fall, the Union and Auston Trusty hosted Kaiden and his brother Kyle for a special day at training in partnership with the event.
