As part of their So Kids Can initiative, Capitals players Pierre-Luc Dubois, Martin Fehervary and Tom Wilson, along with Elliot Segal from the Elliot in the Morning Show, pledge $50 per Capitals win during the regular season and $100 per win during the playoffs each year to a different youth-focused nonprofit organization.
So Kids Can was created in 2008 by former Capitals defenseman Mike Green and Elliot Segal to benefit youth-focused, nonprofit organizations. Former Caps forwards Nicklas Backstrom and Brooks Laich joined the cause in 2011, former Caps defenseman Karl Alzner and goaltender Braden Holtby joined in 2015, Wilson joined in 2017, former Capitals defenseman Brenden Dillon joined in 2021, Fehervary joined in 2022 and Dubois joined in 2025. To date, So Kids Can has donated $700,000 to charity. Past beneficiaries include Fight For Children, Kid Power DC, DC Central Kitchen, Greater Washington Urban League, Heart of America Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Washington, DC, Martha’s Table and Playtime Project, among others.
