Fundraising initiatives include Checkers theme nights, special events such as the Checkers Annual Charity Golf Tournament, community outreach programs and live jersey auctions. Proceeds from fundraising are then distributed to numerous charities in the Carolinas. With your support, we are able to provide funding to deserving local non-profits to support their missions and impact the community.

The Checkers are proud to once again team up with Novant Health on a community initiative called Community Captains aimed at making an even bigger impact on the Charlotte area during the 2025-26 season.The Community Captains program consists of several community events supporting local programs in which the Checkers will collaborate with Novant Health to give back to the Queen City and create positive change together.
A video recap of all of the Community Captains events will be posted to social media and shown in-game as well.
Novant Health has been the longtime official healthcare provider for the Checkers and giving back to the community has been at the heart of the partnership. Together, the organizations have raised over half a million dollars benefitting a variety of charitable organizations. Through Community Captains, the Checkers and Novant Health are continuing that tradition while inspiring community enrichment and creating lasting impacts in the areas they serve.
