A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT First and foremost, thank you fans. From our loyal season ticket holders to our charitable corporate partners to our supporters around the world, we are able to have the best Foundation in professional sports thanks to YOU. As you browse the following pages, please know that your generosity is behind each of our initiatives bringing these pioneering programs to life. We thank you.

Now, let’s look back. The Pittsburgh Penguins organization branded the 2017.18 season with the phrase “Driven for More.” These three simple words truly resonated with our team and front office as we focused on giving more, than ever before, both on the ice and in the community. On the ice, we were driven to further our winning legacy with heart-stopping hockey moments leading to a 12th straight Stanley Cup Playoff appearance on the heels of back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships. Off the ice, we were driven to imbed our legacy within the community through innovative programs and transcendent partnerships combining for a better tomorrow for our youth.

Every season, the Penguins Foundation is truly driven for more as we strive to surpass the successes from the year prior. Without a doubt, the 2017.18 season proved to be one for the record books. From raising $2 million dollars in just two hours during Penguins Charity Night on AT&T SportsNet to raising $450,000 at our inaugural Night of Assists presented by Highmark, the Penguins Foundation was able to reach new heights and exceed goals never dreamed of before.

In our 8th season, we once again donated over $1 million in Penguins Foundation Grants, funded by the 50/50 Raffle, to area organizations that further our belief that kids are the future. We also elevated the gameday experience by inviting live entertainment to our auction, which helped to raise

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS FOUNDATION /// COMMUNITY REPORT 2017-18

over $135,000 for the Foundation in just 47 games. We further committed to expanding the great game of hockey through the birth of our Learn to Play Dek Hockey and Try Hockey for Free programs, as well as the construction of our 13th Project Power Play rink… with more to come. We took on groundbreaking projects through Operation Restore, including the revitalization of the Cascades in South Park, in order to create and maintain a beautiful Pittsburgh for our youth. We devoted our efforts to combat the devastating opioid problem by supporting the FBI’s Heroin Outreach Prevention and Education (HOPE) program for students to learn prevention techniques and put an end to drug abuse. Further, we bolstered our C.O.O.L Zone program with four “igloos” now in existence, plus a fifth location underway, to assist with mental health issues in our youth. The list goes on…

With your help, this was an exceptional season for our organization. As we move forward, we promise to further our drive to do more for what truly matters to the future of this great city… kids.

We hope you enjoy the projects highlighted in this season’s 2017.18 Community Report.

Without you, we would not have accomplished these successes.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

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 the Civic 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 the Civic Arena created the funding needed to build a base for the Foundation and its programs. Ornaments forged from the Civic Arena’s roof raised $2.5 million to fund the Foundation’s first programs thanks to support from the best fans in hockey.

Focused on our region’s youth, the Penguins 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 - ultimately building the brightest future for our great city.

“

We’re more than just hockey...”

GAME DAY FUNDRAISING Auction Through seven seasons, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation’s Gameday Auction has raised over $1.1 million with over $135,000 raised during the 2017.18 season alone. During each home game, the Gameday Auction provides fans with a unique opportunity to bid on fantastic team memorabilia. The 2017.18 season was highlighted by the introduction of Pittsburgh artists, Cody Sabol and Tom Mosser, who brought excitement and surprising one-of-a-kind pieces to the Gameday Auction.

Warm-Up Puck Sale Starting in 2017.18, the Penguins Foundation gave fans the chance to own a piece of the game through the sale of official game-dated NHL pucks used in pre-game warm-ups by the Penguins.

Sold both at PPG Paints Arena and online, this tremendous initiative for the Foundation raised approximately $25,000 in its first season.

Love Your Melon The Penguins Foundation teamed up with Love Your Melon to create unique beanies which were sold online and on game nights to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown as well as Love Your Melon’s nonprofit partners. With incredible support from the Penguins fan base, the Foundation raised and donated over $40,000 to Ronald McDonald House.

“

Working with my favorite sports team and giving me a platform to give back to my city is an absolute honor. The Penguins Foundation inspires me as an artist because they are always trying to go bigger and do better because they are passionate about this city and how they are able to help this community flourish.”

CELEBRATING

A CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY Back-to-Back & 5X Champions During the 2017.18 season, in partnership with Wendell August Forge, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation launched its Back-to-Back Collection to celebrate the 2016 and 2017 victorious seasons, as well as its 5X Champions Collection to commemorate the organization’s winning history.

Available for purchase at vault.pittsburghpenguinsfoundation.org, proceeds from The Vault sales supported the Penguins Foundation’s youth initiatives.

Once a set sells from The Vault, it’s gone forever.”

LENDING A HAND Helping Humboldt The hockey community joined together in April 2018 to support the Humboldt Broncos, a Canadian junior “A” team, following a tragic bus accident in Saskatchewan. The Penguins organization provided a $20,000 donation to families of the Humboldt team while also leaving “Sticks Out for Humboldt” at PPG Paints Arena. Individual players and Penguins alumni also shared their support to uplift spirits of the surviving Broncos, families and team personnel.

Vegas Strong On October 1, 2017, the nation mourned the victims of the mass shooting at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. The NHL and its clubs – together under the banner “Vegas United” – honored the victims and their families with moments of silence. The Penguins Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to support victims and first responders. In addition, the Foundation collected donations online from the Penguins fan base raising the total to nearly $27,000.

Fallen Hero On November 25, 2017, the Penguins Foundation, along with local police officers, coordinated a collection to honor fallen Officer Brian Shaw. Officer Shaw, from the New Kensington Police Department, was a member of the force for just one year when he was tragically killed. Donations were collected online and at PPG Paints Arena. In addition to those funds, the Foundation added a $10,000 contribution amounting to over $21,000 for the Shaw Family.

Pens & Pirates for Puerto Rico In the fall of 2017, Puerto Rico was ravaged by Hurricane Maria.

In partnership with Pirates Charities, the Penguins Foundation made a donation of $25,000 to support hurricane relief efforts.

“

On April 6, 2018, a community of 6,000 people was rocked.

The Humboldt Broncos hockey team, in my home province of Saskatchewan, an hour from my home town of Saskatoon, was involved in an awful bus crash that claimed the lives of 16 people.

This tragedy really hit home for a lot of people worldwide and rocked the hockey community. The Penguins and Penguins Foundation stepped up and made a $20,000 donation to the team’s GoFundMe page. I am extremely touched and proud of the Penguins and the Foundation for the love they have shown beyond that generous donation. I love the heart that the Penguins and the Foundation continually show in times of need.

It was felt 1,756 miles away in my home province of Saskatchewan.

Thank you to the Penguins and the Penguins Foundation. We’re all Broncos!”

WE SALUTE YOU Veterans Day Celebration During the Penguins home game on November 14, 2017, players wore commemorative camouflage jerseys during pre-game warm-ups as part of the team’s annual Veterans Day celebration. The jerseys were then auctioned online to raise money for the Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania with nearly $22,000 donated to support the cause. During the game, the organization also honored our U.S. military Veterans with a symbolic empty “Seat of Honor,” exhibit by the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum, presentation of the colors by the United States Air Force and more.

In addition, earlier in the day, the Penguins welcomed 15 Veterans to the team’s practice at PPG Paints Arena to salute them for their service. Each Veteran received a personalized jersey from the Penguins, lunch in Suite 66 and tickets to that evening’s game - creating memories to last a lifetime... and it was USAF Technical Sergeant Keisha Gwin who performed the National Anthem to start the game!

Hometown Hero The Penguins partnered with Pittsburgh Brewing in 2017.18 to recognize members of the military for their bravery and heroism. I.C. Light Hometown Heroes received complimentary tickets and were honored on the ice prior to the National Anthem.

Military In-Game Welcome Military members were acknowledged during each Penguins home game with a welcome displayed on the videoboard inside of PPG Paints Arena and an accompanying announcement to thank them for their tremendous service.

Community Playmaker The Penguins and Walmart recognized select fans for making a difference throughout the season through the Community Playmaker program, which provided complimentary tickets and an award to those honored through this new initiative.

PLAYERS GIVE BACK Crosby & Malkin Charity Suites During 2017.18, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each purchased a luxury suite at PPG Paints Arena for local youth to enjoy the excitement of Penguins hockey.

In total, the players hosted 27 different charitable organizations – each with an emphasis on children who are coping with difficult health issues, economic struggles or family challenges. During the game, each child received a special gift from their host player along with a memorable visit from Iceburgh.

Mustaches for Men’s Health During “Movember,” five Penguins players committed to grow mustaches in an effort to raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues. Fans were able to donate online in support of their favorite player’s mustache or to grow their own ‘stache, while raising funds on their personal page. Participating players included Carl Hagelin, Bryan Rust, Ian Cole, Tom Kuhnhackl and Josh Archibald.

“

Being granted the opportunity to take my little brother to his first Penguins game (in a suite no less) was extremely special to me. I had wanted to take him to a game before, but the cost is generally too much for me. It is truly heart-warming to experience such generosity first-hand, and I know my little brother now has a memory that will stay with him forever.”

THE GREAT OUTDOORS Operation Restore A new community project, Operation Restore is the Penguins Foundation’s environmentally-conscious program focused on the restoration and upkeep of Pittsburgh’s green parks. Plans also include playground builds, paint revitalizations, tree plantings, and more. Further, the program is designed to engage employees of the Penguins and corporate partners, as well as residents, in volunteerism. The first Operation Restore project, now underway, will be restoration of the Cascades, a historical area in South Park. See how YOU can support the Cascades at pittsburghpenguinsfoundation.org.

Skate Trail & More January 27, 2018 was truly a great day for hockey as the Penguins Foundation cut the ribbon on a new outdoor rink and skate trail at South Park in partnership with the NHL, PPG, Allegheny County, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Allegheny Regional Asset District. The $100,000 project included renovation to the rink and locker rooms, as well as construction of the unique, outdoor skating trail.

Pens in the Park The Penguins Foundation teamed up with Allegheny County Parks to present the second-ever “Pens in the Park” series.

In January 2018, families were invited to the North and South Park outdoor ice rinks to attend this action-packed event filled with food, face painting and fun. Kids also had the opportunity to try on hockey equipment and hit the ice with former Penguins Stanley Cup Champion, Tyler Kennedy, through the Foundation’s Give Hockey a Shot program.

“

Pens in the Park is another way that the Penguins and the Penguins Foundation do such a great job getting involved in the local communities. The County’s partnership with the Penguins Foundation grows each year and events like this are what we are looking to offer to the public. We are bringing people into the parks and giving them an opportunity to try the game of hockey, interact with a professional hockey player, take pictures with Iceburgh and have a great time with the whole family.”

THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS Children’s Hospital Visit On December 20, 2017, the Pittsburgh Penguins made their annual visit to the UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Wearing Santa hats and smiles, the players visited children and their families while passing out gifts to the patients. This visit is truly a treasured tradition that brings joy to countless children who are too sick to make it home for the holidays.

Since the early 1980s, members of the Pittsburgh Penguins have made annual visits to the UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh!

DECK THE HALLS Toys for Tots During the 2017 holiday season, the Penguins joined forces with the U.S. Marine Corps to host a Toys for Tots collection. And, once again, the Penguins partnered with 96.1 KISS Radio’s popular Stuff-A-Bus program, hosted by Mikey and Big Bob, to draw more attention and support for children in need with toy donations from PPG Paints Arena and the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex going to the official Stuff-A-Bus drop-off location at Robinson Town Centre with an assist from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

The Season of Giving: On November 28, 2017, Chipotle raised $4,500 for the Penguins Foundation as part of their #GivingTuesday donation drive!

Shoppers at J.Crew were merry and kind during the weekend of December 8, 2017 donating over $7,000 to the Penguins Foundation!

“

Having the Penguins partner with us for our Stuff-A-Bus toy drive has made the entire campaign more accessible to a wider variety of people, which has increased donations and helped out more children in the region. We couldn’t imagine doing Stuff-A-Bus without the Penguins now, that’s how much of an impact they have made to the campaign. Well, and, to be honest, we love seeing Iceburgh in a Santa hat every year.”

OPERATION SHOEBOX Operation Shoebox To brighten the holidays for senior citizens, Operation Shoebox was created to send joy to those residing at assisted living facilities prior to Christmas. On December 22, 2017, members of the Penguins staff delivered 41 shoebox gifts, which were donated by the front office, to the residents of the Wexford Healthcare Center.

The Shoebox Project The Penguins Foundation and the Penguins Wives Association partnered to support The Shoebox Project, a new initiative for the 2017.18 season. Using a monetary donation, as well as donated items from the Citrone Thirty-Three Foundation, the Penguins ladies stuffed shoeboxes with items that would help any woman feel special. The shoeboxes were then gifted to women’s shelters in the Pittsburgh region.

“

This year, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and Wives Association enabled us to brighten the holidays for 277 local women in need. We gathered in early December to prepare the shoeboxes and kick off the holiday season. Thanks to the generous donation we received, The Shoebox Project was able to service every woman at 5 homeless shelters and 2 domestic abuse shelters throughout the city. The women we serve are women who likely will not receive anything else for Christmas. To be able to send them a gift and a message saying that they are being thought of was a wonderful way to spread cheer right before the holidays.”

The Penguins Foundation hosted its first ever “Night of Assists” Charity Gala presented by Highmark on February 20, 2018. The sold out crowd was treated to the sights and sounds of a traveling circus as PPG Paints Arena was transformed “Under the Big Top” in support of the Foundation’s youth and special needs programs.

The circus theme was apparent as guests were greeted outside by a fire breather and stilt walker and were surprised inside by the octopus lady, the strong man, a snake charmer and a host of traditional performers to capture the mystique of a vintage carnival from yesteryear.

The gala’s VIP Reception was held in partnership with Trib Total Media in the Lexus Club prior to the main event where Penguins management and players mingled with over 300 VIP guests, while enjoying wines from around the world, cotton candy cocktails and more.

Then, at the Grand Circus located on the PPG Paints Arena floor, the entire Penguins team was on hand to challenge 800+ guests at casino-style games including Black Jack, Roulette and Craps, as well as a host of carnival games including Ringmaster, Pucks & Bucks, Glitz & Glass presented by Orr’s Jewelers and more.

Team management and the Penguins coaching staff were also available to meet and greet guests while Dan Potash from AT&T SportsNet served as the gala’s Ringmaster.

In total, over $450,000 was raised for the Penguins Foundation - a tremendous sum for this inaugural event!

Penguins Charity Night on AT&T SportsNet The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and Mario Lemieux Foundation teamed up for the 7th Annual Penguins Charity Night on AT&T SportsNet on March 3, 2018 raising over $2 million for the two foundations in just one night. A total of 7,500 Penguins Charity Bags were sold both online and at the Penguins game. Each Penguins Charity Bag included team merchandise and memorabilia including one autographed puck from the current roster or from Mario Lemieux. Fans also had the chance to receive an autographed jersey within their Penguins Charity Bag. Since 2012, the annual auction has raised over $9.2 million, with proceeds benefitting the Mario Lemieux Foundation for cancer and neonatal research and the Penguins Foundation’s youth initiatives.

“

The support fans display during our annual Penguins Charity Night is always remarkable, but this past season was something special. By the end of the first period, fans had donated over two million dollars to the Penguins and Mario Lemieux Foundations, the most we have ever raised in the event’s seven-year history.

And now to see how both foundations are using the money generated to better our community in a variety of ways is inspiring. It certainly makes us excited for what’s to come in the 2018-19 season, and who we will be able to help thanks to the good-heartedness of Pens fans everywhere.”

PENS FORE SCHOLARSHIPS Summer Sticks Golf Classic On September 12, 2017, the Penguins organization welcomed in the new hockey season by hosting the Summer Sticks Golf Classic presented by UPMC at Allegheny Country Club to fund the Penguins Foundation’s annual scholarship programs. A tradition for decades, the tournament featured Penguins players and coaches serving as celebrity team captains. In total, nearly $50,000 was raised from the scramble-style event to provide scholarships for college students from the region.

Our group is playing a lot out of the rough today, but we are doing well… this is obviously for a good cause, sending kids to school is important everywhere.”

I FIGHT FOR… Hockey Fights Cancer Held each autumn, the league-wide Hockey Fights Cancer initiative aims to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. On November 7, 2017, the Penguins hosted HFC and also welcomed a special guest to PPG Paints Arena for this incredible cause.

Darran Dunlap, the 6-year old daughter of Colin Dunlap, a media personality in Pittsburgh, took the ice for the National Anthem, while also meeting the Penguins players. To further draw attention to the cause, the Penguins coaching staff and broadcasters donned purple ties, while the players warmed-up in purple jerseys.

“

It’s inspiring… it’s crazy how mentally strong these kids are, especially with what they are going through.”

Olli Maatta Pittsburgh Penguins

Over $33,600 was raised through the Hockey Fights Cancer jersey auction to benefit the Mario Lemieux Foundation and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center!

During the game, Penguins players wore green skate laces in support of the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s “Sports Matter” program to raise awareness about the importance of youth sports.

“

I know our guys were excited to play in front of them.

It’s a great thrill for us and it’s always exciting when you have that many kids in the building at once.”

OFF TO THE RACES 6.6K Run & Family Walk The Penguins Foundation and Mario Lemieux Foundation hosted the 5th Annual 6.6K Run & Family Walk presented by Highmark on October 15, 2017. Over 6,200 participants took to the streets in support of the charities with the race beginning and ending at PPG Paints Arena. To bring the event to life, over 300 volunteers assisted for the day thanks to GNC. This season’s event was truly memorable with Mario Lemieux congratulating racers at the finish line and also with a surprise visit by the Stanley Cup. In total, nearly $240,000 was raised by the dedicated runners and walkers to benefit the Penguins Foundation and Lemieux Foundation.

“

It’s a beautiful day, 66 degrees. We have Mario at the finish, Bourque at the finish, we’ve got Pierre Larouche and Jay Caufield out on the course, and the Stanley Cup. We could not have asked for a better morning for our runners and walkers, and again, they are supporting such a great cause that we are just thrilled to be here.”

Holiday Baskets Auction

Special Visits

In December 2017, the ladies of the Penguins Wives Association created baskets filled with items unique to their significant other for this truly one-of-a-kind auction. Over the past eleven years, the team’s wives and girlfriends have donated over $130,000 to local charities through the Holiday Baskets Auction. This season’s selected charity, Blessings in a Backpack, received nearly $15,000 thanks to this initiative.

On January 25, 2018, members of the Penguins Wives Association distributed co-branded Love Your Melon Penguins knit hats to children at the UPMC Children’s Hospital Oncology Unit and at Ronald McDonald House, both in Pittsburgh, PA.

Adopt-A-Child

Throughout the 2017.18 season, the Penguins Wives Association supported the Foundation’s initiatives in countless ways. Whether it be the annual toy drive, food collection or any other worthwhile cause, you will always find the ladies of the Penguins Wives Association lending a helping hand to the Foundation.

The Penguins Wives Association embraced the spirit of the holidays by participating in the Adopt-A-Child program. The ladies provided 23 underprivileged children with a variety of beautifully wrapped gifts for the holidays.

“

This time of the year, it is all about being with your family and enjoying a home cooked meal. It really makes us feel good that we’re able to help provide that.”

PENGUINS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Alumni Charity Golf Classic

Always Assisting

In 1998, the Penguins Alumni Association created its signature event, the Alumni Charity Golf Classic presented by Verizon, to assist local children’s charities.

Over 30 former players and coaches gathered at Valley Brook Country Club on August 22, 2017 for a beautiful day on the links raising over $56,000 for the Mario Lemieux Foundation, Lending Hearts and the Penguins Foundation. Over the past 20 years, the event has raised over $705,000.

During the 2017.18 season, the Penguins Alumni Association continually supported and partnered with the Penguins Foundation. From scholarship presentations to signing sessions to fundraising, the Penguins Alumni make amazing assists to the Foundation and Pittsburgh community.

The True North Each year, Penguins Alumni visit the Yukon Territory in Northwest Canada. Visiting 10 to 20 communities on the annual trip, Penguins Alumni hold youth hockey clinics, attend assemblies at local schools, and play in charity games. This season, Jamie Leach, Aaron Asham, J.S. Aubin, and John Chabot made the northern trek.

It’s a treat. You get to tell the stories again. They get a little bigger every year, but it’s a great time.”

Ed Gilbert Pittsburgh Penguins Alumni Association

Following the tragic bus crash in Saskatchewan, Canada, Penguins Alumnus and Saskatchewan-native, Colby Armstrong invited two Humboldt Broncos players to experience a Penguins playoff game. The two young men who were recovering from the accident, were honored during the game, given a gift from the Penguins and had the chance to meet Mario Lemieux.

“

I told the Penguins I was bringing these guys down and trying to get them some tickets. The red carpet got rolled out for the boys. I didn’t expect anything less.”

“

The Blood Science Foundation’s new partnership with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation allows us to better support the Central Blood Bank. The $5,000 grant we received provided funding to local high schools for scholarships. Last year, Central Blood Bank awarded over $200,000 to high schools which hosted blood drives for this program. The program highlights some of the Blood Science Foundation’s top priorities: increasing blood collected from local donors, increasing the public’s awareness as to the importance of routine blood donation, and giving back to our local Pittsburgh community.”

Mark Giaquinto President & Chief Financial Officer Blood Science Foundation

“

Support from the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation has a tremendous impact on our work to amplify voices of youth. Funding allows us to annually welcome 500+ students to our radio studios to share original music, writing and conversation.

The Foundation also makes it possible for us to bring recording kits and staff to 50+ locations so that we can capture authentic voices of youth in under-resourced schools and community centers that would otherwise not be represented. When youth recognize that their voices are valued, they also recognize that they, themselves, are valued. When adults are exposed to their ideas, they develop stronger empathy toward youth, ultimately demonstrating that Pittsburgh is a region that cares deeply about children and youth. We’re grateful to partner with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation as we pursue this shared passion.”
