MSG Rangers leverages the power of its brands to benefit communities across the tri-state area. The Company is committed to affecting positive change through social impact and cause-related initiatives including philanthropic, food and other in-kind donations across the region.
The Rangers run a large community-based youth sports program – Jr. Rangers – focused on eliminating barriers and creating more inclusive opportunities for all kids to enjoy hockey. Jr. Rangers activities include youth hockey clinics, summer camps, a girls hockey league, equipment donations and other ‘learn to play’ initiatives in the community.
The team also celebrates home-grown heroes throughout the year, including awards such as the Rangers’ “Salute to Our Troops,” which proudly honors the brave men and women who have served or currently serve in the United States Armed Forces.
MSG Rangers also has a close association with the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit organization that assists young people in need. In partnership with MSG Rangers, MSG Knickerbockers Corp., Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. and Sphere Entertainment Co., Garden of Dreams provides young people in our communities with access to educational and skills opportunities, mentoring programs and memorable experiences that enhance their lives, help shape their futures and create lasting joy. All of the Foundation’s activities target young people facing illness or financial challenges, as well as children of uniformed personnel who have been lost or injured while serving our communities. Since it was established in 2006, the Garden of Dreams Foundation has donated nearly $100 million in grants, college scholarships and other donations, impacting more than 480,000 young people and their families.
