The Alumni Game is open to the public to attend and no ticket is required, though there will be an optional contribution at the door to benefit the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation. Stormy and the Pepsi Storm Squad will be in attendance, and off-ice activities at the game will be very similar to a Hurricanes home game. The game will consist of three 20-minute periods and will include one full intermission following the second period.
The Carolina Hurricanes Foundation provides funding to children's nonprofits with a health or education focus and youth hockey organizations throughout North Carolina. As the charitable arm of the Carolina Hurricanes, the Foundation takes pride in being a part of the community both on and off the ice. Throughout the season, the Foundation raises funds through annual special events, in-game auctions, mystery fundraisers and generous direct donations. The funds raised are awarded to nonprofits in the community via an annual grant process. During the 2018-19 season, the Foundation donated a total of $450,000 in cash grants to 25 different children's charities and youth hockey organizations in North Carolina. Together, with the support of our fans, the Foundation is off to a great start for the 2019-20 season and is proud to make a positive, collective impact in our community.
