Flint Firebirds News Release
FLINT, Mich. - The Flint Firebirds announced on Wednesday a fundraising initiative for the team's 10th anniversary, set to take place throughout the 2024-25 season.
The Firebirds are entering their 10th year of operation and to celebrate the milestone, the organization is expanding fundraising efforts through the Flint Firebirds Foundation, with the goal of maximizing the impact to Genesee County and the surrounding areas.
"As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we wanted to emphasize giving back to our great community that has embraced our club since our inception in 2015," Firebirds President Jeremy Torrey said. "We have always made charitable giving a priority through our foundation and community partnerships and in year 10 we are hoping to make it bigger and better than ever, to thank our region for its loyal support."
The fundraising initiative kicks off with the Old Newsboys of Flint Christmas in July fundraiser, for which the Firebirds have provided game-used items, game day experiences and specialty merchandise. The Christmas in July auction runs from July 25-31.
The Firebirds have also unveiled a special 10th anniversary logo that will be worn on patches on the team's jersey throughout the season. The logo will also be on merchandise, including a 10th anniversary collection coming soon to The Bird's Nest.
"10 seasons is such a significant milestone, and we want to make sure it's properly honored," Torrey said. "With our fundraising efforts, the special events and theme nights combined with what is shaping up to be a very exciting roster, this looks like it will be a memorable season both on and off the ice."
