Fans of the Florida Panthers have been barking and yelping for a chance to get some exclusive swag that also supports a great cause. Back in 2024, Panthers forward Sam Bennett and his wife Zoe founded Benny’s Buddies in collaboration with the Humane Society of Broward County. It’s a pretty straightforward program. Every time Bennett scores a goal, the adoption fee for a pet in need of a forever home is covered. He and Zoe came up with the idea after she began to volunteer at the humane society while the two were still engaged. Popularity soared for Benny’s Buddies after Bennett was seen wearing a hat bearing the charity’s name during Florida’s Stanley Cup Championship parade last summer. “Benny’s Buddies is about using our platform to make a real difference for animals in need,” said Sam Bennett. “Seeing how quickly people embraced this idea has been incredibly meaningful, and we’re excited to turn that support into even more adoptions.” After months of demand, Benny’s Buddies is finally able to start accepting pre-orders for their exclusive merchandise.
