| GAME NIGHT DRIVES |
| Devils game night drives are successful for one reason – we receive tremendous support from our fans. At each of our drives, wives/girlfriends of the Devils players are on hand to assist in the collections on the arena concourse and at the box office lobby. Fans making a donation at each of the drives are eligible to win autographed Devils memorabilia. For approximately four weeks prior to the events, each drive is promoted through press releases, the Devils Center Ice game program, MSG Plus, Devils radio broadcasts, and scoreboard and public address announcements, to raise the public’s awareness of each drive as well as each organization involved. |
| Coat Drive |
 The Devils Coat Drive, presented by PSE&G, is held at a home game each winter in conjunction with Jersey Cares. The Devils request that all fans attending that night’s game bring a new or gentlyworn coat to the arena. Volunteers from Jersey Cares are on hand to collect the coats. The coats are then distributed to approximately 200 non-profit agencies in New Jersey including shelters, orphanages, faith-based programs, and senior citizen centers.Jersey Cares, a 12-year-old organization, makes volunteering easy and accessible for people who want to make a difference. Jersey Cares has more than 5,000 members who complete 20,000 hours of service in the community each year.
