I ran and facilitated community-based events for the Reading Royals. From taking Slapshot, the Royals' mascot, to parades, to running charity golf tournaments that raised $20,000, these events varied in scope and type.
Previously, as a 17-year old, I created an event for 120 people to play hockey on the Wells Fargo Center ice, tailgate in the parking lot, and attend a Philadelphia Flyers game. Five months and over $6,000 later, on March 7, 2016, the WFC Takeover came to life. In addition to the experience, attendees received custom-designed pucks, professional photographs, and a full-game video.
The WFC Takeover expanded to 150 people in 2017 and 2018. Additionally, the Royal Takeover at Santander Arena with the Reading Royals was created for 2017, 2018 and 2019.
In 2018, I added a third event: the Winter Classic Takeover at Hersheypark Stadium.
In total, over 600 people experienced the magic of the Takeover.
