It has been ten years since the Anaheim Ducks Foundation was established at the beginning of the 2008-09 season. Since its inception, The foundation has been a big proponent of bringing opportunistic change to children and families throughout Southern California.

The Anaheim Ducks are a franchise dedicated to the sport of hockey, that much is true. However, it is often easy to forget that the Ducks are more than just an organization focused around men with sticks in their hands and skates on their feet. Of course, players and fans alike, all have a like-minded goal that involves a puck going into the net. Nevertheless, the Anaheim Ducks are more than just a group of skilled athletes looking to win a hockey game.

Every night, the Anaheim Ducks give everything they have out on the ice. They push themselves to physical limits that most of us could not even fathom. Yet, they willingly sacrifice blood, sweat, and tears for their team. After all is said and done, they still find the strength within themselves to give back to their community.

Their efforts go far beyond raising money that opens up opportunities for other organizations. They put their time, effort, and energy into making sure their community is taken care of.

The love the organization shows to their community is evidence of deeply rooted compassion. Their dedication to change makes them more relatable on a personal level. They become more than stereotypical surface level athletes who only care about how many zero’s are at the end of their paycheck.
