SCSSD is based on an important principle of the teams and neighbors working together on common goals of community benefit. SCSSD is proud to strengthen that partnership by participating in annual charity carnivals. Each year, SCSSD makes a donation to the charitable event of most importance to each of our partner sports venue operators. These events provide SCSSD with valuable exposure and include the following:
- Every February, the Wachovia Center hosts the Flyers Wives Fight for Lives (www.flyerscarnival.com) carnival, generating funds for a variety of charitable causes in Philadelphia.
- At Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies Phestival (http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/community/phillies_phestival.jsp) takes place every April with all proceeds directed to the ALS Association for Lou Gehrig’s disease.
- The Eagles Youth Partnership (www.philadelphiaeagles.com/partnership) hosts a charity carnival at Lincoln Financial Field during the month of August each year to benefit underprivileged youth in need of books and eye care.
