About
IronPigs Charities
Mission
Established in October, 2007, before the IronPigs ever played a game, IronPigs Charities is the philanthropic arm of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Through community grants, creative programs and special fundraisers, IPC supports educational and recreational opportunities for Lehigh Valley youth. We focus on enhancing the lives of disadvantaged children and young adults and those with disabilities.
The Charity is supported through the strong fan base of Lehigh Valley IronPigs in-game fundraising activities such as the 50/50 Raffle, IronPiggy Bank and Community Clubhouse Merchandise sale. Funds are also raised through contributions from companies, organizations and individuals as well as special event sponsorship and ticket sales for events including The Phillies Winter Banquet, Hackers & Homers Golf Tournament and Meet the Team Dinner. IronPigs Charities is a 501c3 non-profit organization and the cornerstone of Lehigh Valley IronPigs commitment to the Lehigh Valley community.
IronPigs Charities is presented by The Air Products Foundation. Thank you to The Air Products Foundation for their continuous support of IronPigs Charities and the Lehigh Valley community.
IronPigs Charities is governed by a Board of Directors that meets four times each year. (March, June, September and December).

About Game On! Lehigh Valley
Our vision is to become greater Lehigh Valley’s leading youth sports educator, connector, and advocate.
Game On! Lehigh Valley is the signature initiative of IronPigs Charities. The GameOn! mission is to support and promote youth athletic programs of all sports.
We believe
- a youth sports experience should be fun, safe and healthy for all children and expand a child’s physical, social and mental development.
- participation in athletics develops important character traits and lifelong values. When the adults involved have proper training, information and resources, the lives of young people can be positively impacted.
GameOn! Lehigh Valley Framework
