More About Ed Snider

Edward M. Snider was an icon – an entrepreneur, a passionate philanthropist, a risk-taker for the greater good, and a true visionary in the sports and entertainment industry. He was the consummate “Dreamer and Doer” from and early age, the embodiment of the stories in The Weitzman which he helped to re-establish in 2010.

Later partnering with Comcast Corporation to form Comcast Spectacor, the company has repeatedly been recognized as one of the most successful companies in the industry and a s an unparalleled innovator. Until his death, Ed Snider served as chairman of Comcast Spectacor.

From creating an industry to working closely with Philadelphia’s Jewish leaders to support their work smuggling Soviet Jews out from behind the Iron Curtain, Ed’s entrepreneurial spirit and drive to help others was always front and center.

Among Ed Snider’s proudest accomplishments was the creation of the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation in 2005, which provides underserved children from urban neighborhoods in Philadelphia, PA, and Camden, NJ, with the opportunity to learn and play the game of ice hockey and as a means to succeed in the game of life.

Ed Snider also created Flyers Charities and established the Snider Foundation, a private family foundation whcih has been a significant contributor to numerous nonprofit organizations that share and promote the values of limited government, individual and economic liberty, free markets and private enterprise, Jewish culture and survival, fighting antisemitism and enriching local communities.

He founded the Weitzman’s iconic Only in America® Gallery/Hall of Fame, after which the Museum’s annual Gala is named, celebrating extraordinary American Jewish individuals whose lives demonstrate the power of what America makes possible.

At the center of Ed’s life’s work were his six children and 15 grandchildren. Ed passed away in 2016, leaving a remarkable legacy of entrepreneurship and philanthropy, and indelible marks on the city he loved and the industries he. helped to create and lead.
