PHANTOMS RAISE $82,945 FOR FAMILIES OF FREEDOM
The Phantoms Wives Charity Foundation, a division of the Comcast-Spectacor Foundation, presented a check for $82,945 to the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fundà on Saturday, April 6 following four successful fund-raising events throughout the season. The Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund provides educational assistance to financially needy children and spouses of those killed or permanently disabled as a result of the Sept. 11 tragedies.
The Phantoms Wives' first fund-raising event of the season raised $31,803 during Turn Back the Clock Night on Nov. 18, as Phantoms players wore replica 1967 Flyers jerseys and then auctioned them off following the game. The second-annual player bachelor auction on Friday, Dec. 7 then raised $2,475, as fans placed bids for the chance to go on a date with one of seven single Phantoms players.
A total of $28,428 was collected on Feb. 18 in the second live jersey auction. In celebrating Presidents' Day, the team wore special red, white & blue jerseys before heading to Bullies to auction them off. The final jersey auction took place online after the Phantoms wore special fatigue-style jerseys during their game on March 22. The week-long auction brought in $8,739.
Checks totaling $11,000 were also happily accepted from the Atlantic District of USA Hockey and Flyers Skate Zone on March 1. The Atlantic District of USA Hockey ($8,500) and Flyers Skate Zone ($2,500) sold special Hockey Stands United patches and t-shirts to benefit the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund.
