Allergy-Friendly Easter Egg Hunt Highlights Nut Free Awareness Day on Sunday
Published on March 3, 2016 under 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.
