Young Flyers Fan 'Thankful For The Wells Fargo Center' To Get VIP Treatment

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The power of social media.

8-year-old Bennett from South Jersey was simply asked to complete a school assignment: name a place he was thankful for.

Bennett drew a picture of the Wells Fargo Center before the Flyers with the caption, "I am thankful for the Wells Fargo Center because they play hockey in there."

Bennett's mom then tweeted the photo at the Wells Fargo Center's official Twitter account and it made its way all the way to John Page, the President of Wells Fargo Center.

Page invited Bennett and his family to attend team warm ups and the game when the Flyers host the Blackhawks on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Bennett will also receive a custom 50th Flyers anniversary jersey.
