Josh’s Kids is a special section at Verizon Center that provides seats at Capitals home games for Washington metropolitan area nonprofit organizations and schools.

Founded by Lincoln Holdings LLC, the ownership group of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and WNBA’s Washington Mystics, Josh’s Kids was created in memory of the group’s partner, Joshua M. Freeman, who died in a tragic helicopter accident Dec. 14, 2006.

The Josh’s Kids initiative will make tickets available to local nonprofit organizations and schools with tax-exempt status. Organizations are able to sign up on the team’s website, WashingtonCaps.com, to receive Capitals’ tickets. These organizations then will be able to bring students, members, staff and volunteers to Capitals games free of charge.

“Josh held the deep conviction that we have a responsibility to those less fortunate than ourselves, and he also had a passion for athletics that was evident in everything he did,” said Michelle Freeman. “This program is such a wonderful combination of those two virtues – it is a great way to remember him. I know he would be proud that his passion and dedication has been translated into such an innovative opportunity for children.”

As part of this program, seats will also be donated to Most Valuable Kids (MVK), one of the Capitals partners that donates game tickets to boys and girls, 18 and younger, through various local nonprofit organizations. MVK’s mission is to provide an unparalleled reward system for local underprivileged children and children’s organizations that show exemplary behavior, spirit and community service.
