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.

THE MISSION OF THE PENGUINS FOUNDATION

To actively promote physical well-being, encourage teamwork, stress the value of education, and provide essential life skills to young people in our community through youth hockey and other activities.

THE STORY OF THE PENGUINS FOUNDATION The year 2010 proved to be a year of transition for the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. The team’s longtime home moved from Mellon Arena to a new state-of-the-art arena. That same year, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation was created, enveloping all of the organization’s charitable efforts under one umbrella.

Ironically, the demolition of Mellon Arena spawned the funding to establish a base for the Foundation’s work. Its first initiative was to create ornaments forged from the arena’s roof. In each of the next five years, the Foundation grew substantially.

Focused on our region’s youth, the Foundation has embraced a vast array of programs that emphasize education, physical fitness and the well-being of our area’s children and their families.

With strong leadership provided by Penguins ownership, the Foundation strives to continue its mission of serving the people of Pittsburgh through new and innovative programs.

HOLIDAY CHEER

CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL VISIT Since the early 1980s, members of the Pittsburgh Penguins, along with team mascot Iceburgh, don their Santa hats and spread cheer to children spending the holidays in Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. Players take time to visit with children and their families and pass out gifts for the patients. This year, the players presented each patient with a plush penguin or a Kindle Fire tablet. They also signed autographs and posed for pictures. This annual visit has continued to be a treasured tradition that brings joy to countless children who are too sick to make it home for the holiday season.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY DISTRIBUTION In partnership with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, the Penguins organization has annually helped make Thanksgiving a special holiday for 100 underprivileged families in Pittsburgh’s Hill District.

HEADS UP PITTSBURGH The Penguins Foundation and UPMC Sports Medicine teamed up in 2011 to create HEADS UP Pittsburgh, the first program of its kind to combat an epidemic of concussions in young athletes. The program has expanded each year to serve more youth and include a wider spectrum of sports.

Initially, the program included free baseline concussion testing for youth hockey players in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League (PIHL), Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League (PAHL) and other hockey groups registered locally through USA Hockey programs. The program also included parental educational programs for the parents or guardians of youth hockey players.

The following year, the program expanded to include athletes of all sports ages 10 through 14. In 2013, the program added free neck-strengthening kits to help reduce the occurrence of concussions. In 2014, HEADS UP Pittsburgh provided free flexibility kits detailing precautions and exercises that could reduce concussions. And, in 2015, the program shared free balance discs to participants to help with core strength shown to aid in concussion prevention.
