ANAHEIM DUCKS FOUNDATION

The anaheim ducks s.c.o.r.e. (scholastic curriculum of recreation & education) program was developed in 2005, with the ultimate goal of promoting healthy living and academic excellence to all students in southern california. S.c.o.r.e. Offers free educational standards based programs and incentives for teachers and students using two methods: in-class education and physical education. Over 40,000 students participate in this program on a yearly basis, in which participating schools span from san diego, san bernardino, orange, riverside, and los angeles counties. The in-class education program consists of three components: school supplies donation, reading is the goal (30 day reading program), and first flight field trip (educational anaheim ducks practice at the arena). The physical education program was designed to teach students the fundamentals of hockey, the importance of healthy living, and positive character traits through three branches: street hockey (10-day pe curriculum), score-a-goal (month of free ice hockey lessons) and captain's challenge (health & fitness curriculum).
