Philadelphia Flyers Charities are bringing the Bullies back to Broad Street for "Broad Street Bash," an extremely rare fundraising event featuring the two Stanley Cup Championship teams at XFINITY Live! Philadelphia on Saturday, January 25. Proceeds from the event will benefit Flyers Charities and will serve as an addition to the team's 37th annual Flyers Wives Carnival, taking place at the Wells Fargo Center, the following day, on Sunday, January 26.
"This is a great addition to our fund-raising efforts of the Carnival," said Comcast-Spectacor President Peter Luukko. "With XFINITY Live!, we see great potential to have a pre-Carnival party and celebrate Flyers hockey with our tremendous fans the night before the Carnival while raising money for numerous worthy causes throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region.”
"The Flyers Wives are going to be recognizing our two Stanley Cup Championship-winning teams at the Carnival with the “Spirit of Giving Award," added Luukko. "Since we will have most of those two teams represented at the Carnival, we decided to bring the group together for a party the night before at XFINITY Live! and to celebrate Flyers hockey with our fans."
The pre-Carnival celebration, "Broad Street Bash" will occur at XFINITY Live! Philadelphia on Saturday, January 25 at 6 p.m. As fans and players unite to celebrate Flyers hockey, the Dropkick Murphys, who have been supportive of many of the same Flyers Charities' initiatives, will perform live. The festivities begin with a meeting between the Flyers and the Boston Bruins, the team the Flyers defeated to win their first-ever Stanley Cup on May 19, 1974, at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday, January 25 at 1 p.m. The members of the Stanley Cup winning team will appear on the ice before the game for a ceremony recognizing the 40th anniversary of the first Flyers championship.
Scheduled to attend the Broad Street Bash at XFINITY Live! Philadelphia are Flyers Chairman Ed Snider, President Peter Luukko, General Manager Paul Holmgren, Assistant General Manager Ron Hextall, and members of the Stanley Cup Championship winning team Bill Barber, Bob Clarke, Terry Crisp, Gary Dornhoefer, Andre Dupont, Bob Kelly, Orest Kindrachuk, Ross Lonsberry, Simon Nolet, Bernie Parent, Dave Schultz, Don Saleski, Bobby Taylor, and Joe and Jim Watson.
