Today, the Flyers Alumni Association announced the inaugural Flyers Alumni Charity Classic Weekend, the newest and largest Flyers Alumni event to date.
Fans can join over 60 Flyers Alumni June 21-23 for a hat trick of fun filled events designed to connect alumni and fans while raising funds for Flyers Alumni charitable giving. Over the course of three days, Flyers from every decade will participate in three unique events, including the inaugural Flyers Alumni Pickleball Tournament, Walk.Run.Ride and Flyers Alumni Golf Tournament.
“It is always an honor to celebrate the remarkable legacy of our alumni. These individuals helped build the foundation of our franchise and our sport, and their contributions have left a lasting impact on not only our organization, but the Philadelphia community,” said Dan Hilferty, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor and Flyers Governor. “As we look ahead to this inaugural Flyers Alumni Charity Classic Weekend, it is an opportunity to bring everyone together to celebrate our past, appreciate where we are today, and inspire the next generation of both players and fans."
“The Flyers Alumni Association continues to identify ways to maximize Alumni participation in our Alumni events as well as continue to connect them with their fans, so the idea of combining several unique events into one fabulous weekend was born,” said Brad Marsh, President of Flyers Alumni. “We look forward to bringing not only our Flyers alumni together but our community together to raise funds for great causes that will help support our community partners.”
The first alumni weekend event of its kind among Philadelphia sports teams, the Flyers Alumni Charity Classic Weekend has something for every fan. Whether a fan of Pickleball, a runner, a cyclist or a golfer, the Flyers Alumni Charity Classic Weekend offers fans the opportunity to participate in their favorite hobbies alongside Flyers Alumni throughout the fun-filled weekend.
