  • Community Report
    Community Report 2015.16 COMMUNITY REPORT | 2015.16 A LETTER FROM THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS CEO & PRESIDENT The Pittsburgh Penguins are more than a hockey team. We are proud members of our community – from our players and coaches to our executives and office staff – and we believe we have a responsibility to use the unique platform of professional sports to make a deep and lasting impact on our city and our region. It goes far beyond the $6.1 million that the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation contributed to charitable and community causes during the 2015-16 season (athough we are very proud of that!). It involves such wide-ranging efforts as delivering tablets to local schools through our signature Tablets in Education program; providing free baseline concussion testing to young athletes since 2011 through the HEADS UP initiative; building 12 dek hockey rinks in the Pittsburgh region; awarding annual scholarships to deserving high school seniors; and holding unique charity events such as the Aces & Ice Casino Night and the ROOT Sports Charity Night. Our players contribute in so many ways – many in private, out of the spotlight – but some of their more public ventures include visiting Children’s Hospital each season and personally delivering tickets to the homes and businesses of our season ticket holders. Co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle have instilled a long-lasting commitment to community outreach and fan interaction through all levels of the Penguins organization. We are proud to serve the citizens of the Pittsburgh region – and especially the young people who are building such a strong foundation for a very bright future.
