Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin has announced that he will continue his philanthropic efforts through the “I’m Score for Kids” initiative for the third consecutive season in 2024-25.
This program benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Pittsburgh and Morgantown, providing critical financial support to families with children facing medical challenges.
Malkin, known for his dynamic presence on the ice, has consistently been a force for good off the ice as well. Since launching the “I’m Score for Kids” campaign, he has dedicated his on-ice performance to making a real difference in the lives of families and children in need.
For each point he records during the season—whether it be goals or assists—a portion of money is donated to RMHC Pittsburgh and Morgantown.
The initiative not only highlights Malkin’s commitment to community service but also directly impacts families who rely on the Ronald McDonald House for a safe, supportive environment during times of medical hardship.
The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown provide essential services, including housing, meals, and emotional support, to families whose children are receiving critical medical care.
These services are vital to helping families maintain their sense of normalcy and focus on their child’s health while navigating the often-overwhelming stress of medical treatment. Through this initiative, Malkin is helping raise awareness and funds for an organization that plays a crucial role in the community.
Malkin’s continued support for RMHC also reflects his deep ties to the Pittsburgh community. As a fan favorite and a key player for the Penguins, Malkin is in a unique position to use his platform to make a tangible difference.
His passion for this cause has been evident throughout his NHL career, as he often speaks about the importance of helping those who are less fortunate. The “I’m Score for Kids” initiative has not only raised substantial funds but has also encouraged other athletes and fans to get involved and support the cause.
In the 2024-25 season, as Malkin continues his efforts, he hopes to build on the success of the previous years and make an even greater impact. With the Penguins’ passionate fan base and the widespread appeal of this initiative, Malkin is confident that he can continue making a positive difference in the lives of children and families in need.
Through his continued dedication, Malkin shows that, beyond the ice, he is a true champion for the community.
