2015 Annual Report

2015
ANNUAL
REPORT
Monumental Sports &
Entertainment Foundation
Created in 2013 Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation supports the charitable
efforts of the Washington Capitals, Mystics and Wizards, aligning their causes and
unifying their giving, which enables us to have the greatest impact on our community.
MSE Foundation is committed to the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and
focuses on the following five pillars to maximize its impact and engagement with the
community:
• Youth basketball and hockey
• Education and scholarship
• Pediatric health and fitness
• Military and veterans’ affairs
• Hunger and homelessness
Recognizing the community as our most important asset, MSE Foundation looks
forward to continuing to create and sustain programs that are designed to give back to
the community that supports our teams. In 2015 Monumental Sports & Entertainment
Foundation, along with the Leonsis Foundation, donated more than $1.3 million to
local charities. Through MSE Foundation we pledge to continue investing our time and
resources and serving as a positive influence and contributor in our community, and we
hope to inspire others to do the same.
Since its inception Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation has been honored
with several awards:
• Inaugural Corporate Engagement Award as part of the 2013 Mayor’s
Community Service Awards
• The Salvation Army’s Community Partner Award in 2014
• “Star-Power” award from The ALS Association – DC/MD/VA Chapter’s The
Best of the Ice Bucket Challenge awards in 2015.
