Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment

The Sixers Youth Foundation is the Non-Profit Arm of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Our mission is to use the power of basketball and the influence of the Philadelphia 76ers brand to inspire future generations in the communities where our fans live, work and play. We envision communities where all children can create, pursue and realize their dreams and live productive lives. Since 2015, we have partnered with over 20 non-profit organizations to support youth development in Philadelphia, Camden and the greater Delaware Valley.

Access to Quality Play

We partner with organizations to increase their capacity in delivering sports-based programming to local youth, through both grants and in-kind support.

These resources use sports as a fun, constructive and safe way to engage children and strengthen their social and emotional health.

Academic Enrichment

We support organizations that focus on strengthening children’s wellbeing and social-emotional development through equitable learning experiences.

Safe Play Spaces

We work with non-profits and city agencies to renovate play spaces in our local communities, increasing access to safe corridors while transforming the look and feel of neighborhoods. These spaces are selected through community mapping and local partnerships to identify the greatest areas of need.

COVID-19 Emergency Relief

We are committed to providing emergency and ongoing support, including health, food and educational resources, for children and families who have been the most impacted by the effects of Covid-19 in our local communities
