The Charlotte Checkers are rolling out a new community‑engagement program called Community Corner, promising to set aside a block of tickets for local non‑profit groups at every regular‑season game.
Community Corner: A Ticket Donation Program for Local Non‑Profits
Under the scheme, each game will feature a dedicated allocation that can be claimed by qualifying charities, schools and other service organizations, ensuring that more fans from the region have the chance to experience the team’s high‑energy play.
Organizations interested in participating are invited to submit applications through a streamlined online portal, where they can detail their mission and the audience they hope to bring to the arena.
The application window opens this month and will remain active throughout the course of the season, giving groups ample opportunity to plan events and fundraisers around the games.
Team officials say the initiative reflects a broader commitment to giving back to the Charlotte community, building on existing outreach efforts that have already supported youth hockey programs and local schools.
By tying ticket donations to each game, the Checkers aim to create a predictable and transparent way for non‑profits to secure seats, while also fostering stronger ties between the franchise and the neighborhoods it serves.
