To be the champions of all youth in our community, on and off the ice, through the power of hockey

About us

Mission Statement: To be the champions of all youth in our community, on and off the ice, through the power of hockey. With the guidance of our ownership group, the Penguins organization has always been noted for our generous contributions to the surrounding communities. We understand the importance of our fans, and the role that we collectively play in the development of the region. Our players, coaches and front office staff are involved in every aspect of community development, but what makes the programs work is the response to our efforts by our fans. For our fans, we always strive to be the best in professional sports both on and off the ice. With this in mind we created the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation – a new effort to focus the organization's wide-ranging charitable and community outreach efforts on the youth of the region.

    The Reading Champions program built by United States Steel Corporation is making reading more accessible to kids in our community. To prep for another season of engaging and incentivizing reading, U. S. Steel employees wrote encouraging messages in the themed books donated to over 30 classrooms right here in the Mon Valley. Josh Getzoff, Phil Bourque, and Iceburgh joined in for a fun morning of sharing stories and making a difference in the local community.
