Allergy-Friendly Easter Egg Hunt Highlights Nut Free Awareness Day on Sunday
March 3, 2016 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Chicago Wolves News Release
The Chicago Wolves are hosting Nut Free Awareness Day at 3 p.m. Sunday when they play the Milwaukee Admirals. Allstate Arena's Section 116 will be power-washed and cleaned to ensure fans with nut allergies can enjoy the game at ease. In addition, concessionnaires will not serve peanut-related food items.
Following the game, Nutphree's Bakery will host an Easter egg hunt in the Skyline Room directly across the street from Allstate Arena. Everyone who purchases a ticket for Section 116 gets to participate in the egg hunt.
This is one of the rare seasons when no player on the Wolves' 27-man roster suffers from nut allergies. Recent studies indicate this will be increasingly unlikely in years to come. In 2007, just 1 of every 25 children under the age of 18 dealt with food allergies. Now 2 of every 25 children suffer from food allergies with younger children most affected.
With allergy cases on such a sharp rise -- and epinephrine remaining the only reliable treatment for food anaphylaxis -- the Wolves continue to work with Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) on Nut Free Awareness Days to help people with these allergies.
A portion of the proceeds generated from Nut Free Awareness Day will go to FARE. For ticket information, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit ChicagoWolves.com.
