About the Anaheim Ducks Foundation  
Serving as the team’s main charitable beneficiary, the mission of the Anaheim Ducks Foundation is to facilitate and support programs that produce positive change for children and families throughout Southern California by providing educational opportunities, broadening access to the sport of hockey and addressing the health and wellness needs of our community.

Programs Facilitated by the Anaheim Ducks Foundation

• S.C.O.R.E (Scholastic Curriculum of Recreation & Education): A free standards-based curriculum to over 45,000 Southern California elementary students annually via in-class and physical education initiatives.  
• Learn to Play: The Learn to Play program offers first-time hockey players the chance to get on the rink for a free four-week learning session.  In addition, children who complete the Learn to Play program and sign-up for a RINKS in-house league receive a complimentary set of gear to start their hockey careers. Since the start of the Learn to Play program in 2013, close to 20,000 children have laced up their skates and hit the ice.  
• Inclusive Hockey Programs: The Anaheim Ducks and The Rinks have created a variety of programs supporting adaptive and inclusive hockey to make sure that the sport of hockey is accessible and available to all. The Ducks adaptive hockey programs include Top Flight presented by CHOC, which teaches hockey to individuals with intellectual disabilities; sled hockey presented by Easterseals Disability Services, which is designed for physically disabled youth and adults; as well as blind and deaf/hard of hearing hockey which provides opportunities for individuals with visual impairments or diagnosed with a hearing loss.
