Eugene strongly believes in investing in youth. His philanthropic support continues through the Ottawa Senators and the Senators Foundation, which have invested more than $110-million in the Ottawa-Gatineau community. Eugene is also the lead donor of Anna House, a childcare facility in Belmont, New York and Roger’s House, a pediatric palliative care facility in Ottawa named after a beloved former coach. Each year, Eugene hosts Skate for Kids at the Canadian Tire Centre, where he donates hockey equipment and jerseys to hundreds of underserved children.
