The NYCPHA’s Financial Aid Fund was established to assist those in need of financial support to participate in NYCPHA activities. The typical cost to field a team in NYC is upwards of $10,000 resulting in significant costs to our players. Playing ice hockey is not just a sport, but an important part of our member’s lives.
The NYCPHA is a registered Public Charity under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and is registered under the name New York City Gay Hockey Association (EIN 13-4138055). Every donation helps a skater get on the ice!
