Sixers receive NBA social impact award for supporting local businesses – Metro Philadelphia

**Title:** Not Our Sixers, But Still Something to Cheer About: NBA Social Impact Award for Local Businesses

While the NHL action at the Wells Fargo Center is heating up for the Philadelphia Flyers, it’s hard not to notice the excitement buzzing around the Wells Fargo Center’s neighbor, the home of the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers organization has been making waves recently, and not just on the hardwood. The team has been recognized with the NBA’s Social Responsibility Award for their efforts to support local businesses.

This outstanding achievement is a testament to the commitment of the Sixers to being a positive force in their community. By partnering with local businesses and organizations, the team has been able to make a tangible impact on the lives of Philadelphia residents. From hosting job fairs to providing resources for minority-owned businesses, the Sixers have demonstrated their dedication to giving back.

As Flyers fans, we can appreciate the value of community engagement and the positive impact it has on our city. The Wells Fargo Center is a staple in Philadelphia, hosting not only NHL games but also concerts and other events that bring people together. The Flyers’ own community outreach programs, such as their annual ‘Flyers Autism Awareness Night,’ have been well-received by fans and the community alike.

The Sixers’ social responsibility award is a reminder that sports teams have the power to make a real difference in their communities. We look forward to seeing the Flyers continue their own commitment to giving back, and we’re proud to see the Sixers leading the charge in Philadelphia. Congratulations to the Sixers on this well-deserved recognition!
