PHANTOMS CONTINUE "CAPTAIN'S CLUB" PROGRAM
The Phantoms are proud to announce the return of the team's "Captain's Club" program. The idea of the "Captain's Club" is for area businesses and organizations to donate Phantoms season tickets to the charity of their choice so less-fortunate children in the Delaware Valley can also share in the experience of a Phantoms game.
The newest "Captain's Club" member is Philandra Consulting, LLC, a Fort Washington, Pa. based company which has been providing telecommunications and information technology (IT) solutions to address clients' critical business needs for over 30 years. Philandra Consulting donated a "Captain's Club" package to St. Mary's Villa for Children & Families in Ambler, Pa. and Glenside Elementary School in the Cheltenham (Pa.) School District.
