In February, DICK'S Sporting Goods and The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation pledged more than $10 million to support communities impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and the historic flooding in Asheville, North Carolina following Hurricane Helene.
Through a four-week disaster relief campaign at point-of-sale (POS), store teammates raised $977,000. The DICK'S Foundation matched those donations – and brought the total giving from the campaign to $2 million. All proceeds are being directed to schools and non-profit organizations in the Los Angeles and Asheville areas affected by the recent disasters.

Scoring Big for Sports Matter
We clinched a win on and off the ice at this year's 7th annual Sports Matter Night with the Pittsburgh Penguins! More than $19,000 was raised for our Sports Matter Program through our Sports Matter Auction, sale of warm up and mystery pucks and our special ticket offer. We were joined by local corporate and field teammates.
During the game's first intermission, The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation surprised Pittsburgh I.C.E. with a $25,000 Sports Matter Grant! The organization offers kids of all socio-economic backgrounds the opportunity to lace up and learn to play hockey.
