Holiday Initiatives During the Holidays the Philadelphia Flyers organization takes a leading role in the community while engaging our fan base in the effort as well! Previous initiatives have included the player’s Holiday visit to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a “pre-game meal” at the Ronald McDonald House, and “trick-or-treating” through St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. This past season the Flyers also teamed up with the Salvation Army and Child Abuse Prevention Effort to build a toy mountain of gifts donated by the Flyers themselves and fans of the community. Awareness Nights The Community Relations Department embraces the role of community leader and uses that position to address and create awareness to existing and new initiatives. Past awareness nights have touched on Breast Cancer, Diabetes, Autism, and Heart Health. The Flyers are also involved with local initiatives such as Philadelphia Animal Wellness Society (PAWS), promoting the adoption and well being of homeless animals, Greater Philadelphia Cares Coat Drive, and Philabundance Food Drive. 318 PhiladelphiaFlyers.com
