More than 200 Magic employees participated in numerous events throughout the year to contribute to the milestone with a focus on four specific areas of interest: health and wellness, arts, housing and homelessness, and education.

Their activities in the last year included the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation Open charity golf tournament, Thanksgiving at the Coalition for the Homeless, the Magic turkey dinner distribution, a youth holiday shopping spree, Habitat for Humanity builds, and more.
