Chase In The Community
The Pennslyvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Chase and Jen Utley are strong supporters of the Pennslyvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They participated in the “Save a Pet at the Park” event hosted by the Phillies Wives before a sold out ballgame against the New York mets. The event featured animals for adoption, raffles, as well as a silent auction. The event raised $33,000, with all the proceeds going to benefit the PSPCA. Chase and Jen were also featured guests on Comcast’s Pet Adoption on Demand to raise awareness about the PSPCA. Pictures from the event can be found in the “Chase in the Community” photo galley.
Philadelphia Futures
Over the past few years Chase Utley has been one of the most community minded athletes in sports. His dedication to numerous charities and causes led to him being awarded the 2006 Phillies Community Service Award. The award recognizes the player who best exemplifies baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to his team. Chase was presented with the award and honored with $12,500 from the Phillies and MLB to donate to the charity of his choice. Some of the charities and events that Chase has been recently involved in include:
Philadelphia Futures
Over the past two seasons Chase has helped to raise close to $300,000 for Philadelphia Futures, a mentoring program for inner city high school students. Last May Utley and teammate Mike Lieberthal hosted a charity event called “Get In The Game,” which took place at the Strikes Bowling Lounge in Center City. The interactive event, which included bowling and billiards, raised close to $140,000 for the Futures program. In 2005, Utley and his teammates hosted an event at Citizens Bank Park that raised $150,000 for the Futures efforts.
Starting this past fall Chase is personally sponsoring a Philadelphia Futures student as well.
Phillies RBI and Rookie Leagues
In 2005 and 2006 Chase served as the chairman for the Phillies RBI and Rookie Leagues. The Rookie League, which serves children 12 and under, and the RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program, which is designed for players over 12, both serve to provide an opportunity to play organized baseball for children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Through his association with these programs Chase has helped thousands of boys and girls share in the game he loves.
