On opening night of the Kraken's inaugural season, the franchise lifted a "32" banner to the brand-new Climate Pledge Arena rafters in honor of the 32,000 ticket depositor-fans who over 24 hours in March 2018 resoundingly signaled to the NHL that Seattle is a hockey town.
Next season, the 32,000 marker will continue its significance with the newly announced Kraken Unity Fund Together with Starbucks, created to honor and celebrate a community hero and non-profit organization of the hero's choice with a $32,000 grant at every Kraken regular-season home game.
Heroes Ahead Next Season
