Back into the community since the beginning of the franchise. The rest paid to "volunteers " and put into a reserve. The reserve rarely if ever sees the community. It's there to cover costs and pay staff if they fold. Calgary in particular is a joke.
The national average is 73% being donated to charity's.. and the Canucks actually lead this statically in Canada for any charity in Canada.
Pro sports contribute #### to the community in by large and it's just free advertising that costs them mere fractions vs traditional media hell the players are usually contracted to do.so so they don't even have to be stars just players to get the media and public swooning for them at events they don't even really give much too..
So when people swoon but the team does so much for the community! No.... they actually don't. They usually keep 70 to 80 percent of the money to run their "pr wing" alive and well....
The promo is usually " get to meet the players and autograph for free "Do yo except that's not the case . You isually pay a gate fee or entrance fee at the gate. That's just a 80 to 70 percent pro rated meet and greet fee that the E.g. Flames foundation gets to keep.

Do you know what the young lady has today that she didn't have the other day? $10K towards her education. Can we just not enjoy the story about a nice thing instead of ####ting on people every time.
