... the Caps Canine Calendar (which to this day is a fan favorite), as well as coordinating efforts for the Caps Gift Basket fundraisers and participating in Family-to-Family programming. If there was ever a need, Karl and Mandy were always willing to step up and help out. We are so lucky that they have decided to make the D.C. area their home, and continue their incredible work to support this community that means so much to them.

"Mandy & Karl's dedication to the Washington DC community is unmatched."

Their dedicated efforts in supporting our mission were evident through initiatives such as the creation of the Washington Capitals canine calendar. Their commitment and professionalism helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars to support our homeless animals. Mandy and Karl’s dedication to the Washington DC community is unmatched. It was a true joy working with them and the Caps!

The Alzner’s are a pillar in the community, and they have been focused on giving back and making a difference for as long as I have known them.

... and a portion of his time with the Hershey Bears. Karl has always been community-driven and donated his time constantly throughout each of his seasons with the Caps. Mandy was actively involved in our community initiatives and spearheaded multiple initiatives with our team and foundation. The two of them embody philanthropy and I am excited to see the impact their foundation will make.
