The Philadelphia Flyers and Flyers Charities have released their 2024-2025 Community Impact Report, highlighting the organization’s involvement in various community initiatives throughout the past season.

Blair Listino, Chair of Flyers Charities and Flyers Alternate Governor, stated, “I, along with the entire Flyers organization, am incredibly proud of the meaningful work our team— across leadership, staff, and players—has accomplished in our local communities this past season. Since joining the Flyers organization over a decade ago, it has been made clear that this storied franchise was built on more than just competition. It was founded on a deep commitment to giving back to our city, our region, and the communities that support us year after year.”

According to the report, Flyers fans contributed over $1.3 million through fundraising events such as the Gritty 5K presented by Penn Medicine, Casino Night, and the Flyers Charities Carnival. The Rink Revive program was launched with more than $1 million invested in upgrading local rinks and reducing financial barriers for young hockey players.

More than 1,000 children were introduced to hockey through Learn to Play and Ball Hockey programs supported by scholarships from Flyers Charities. In partnership with Michael’s Way and St. Christopher’s Hospital, members of Flyers Charities and team families helped renovate a home for a young girl undergoing cancer treatment.

Flyers players, coaches, and staff worked with numerous community partners during outreach efforts throughout the season. Over $300,000 was contributed to cancer support programs in addition to hospital visits and volunteer work with related nonprofits.

The full Community Impact Report is available at FlyersCharities.com.

The report underscores the ongoing commitment of both organizations to serve Philadelphia residents through expanded access to hockey programs and support for families facing hardship.
