Chicago Wolves News Release
Chicago Wolves center RILEY HOLZAPFEL will visit the Naperville Public Library and the Winfield Public Library next Wednesday, December 16, as part of the Wolves "Read to Succeed" program, presented by Pace and Vista Health System.
The appearances are scheduled for:
Wed., Dec. 16:
Riley Holzapfel Naperville Public Library 200 W. Jefferson Ave. 4:00 p.m.
Winfield Public Library N291 Winfield Rd. 6:30 p.m.
The Regina, Saskatchewan, native will discuss the role of reading and education in his life as a professional athlete and emphasize the importance of recreational reading. The Wolves forward will also dress a child in hockey equipment, raffle Wolves prizes and sign autographs.
The "Read to Succeed" program encourages kids to take advantage of the resources that libraries have to offer and to set reading goals for themselves. Once they have achieved their goals, they will be rewarded with prizes including Wolves T-shirts, pennants and tickets to upcoming Wolves games.
Throughout the season, nearly 100 libraries and 30,000 children will participate in the program, with Wolves players making close to 30 appearances at libraries in the DuPage, North Suburban and Metropolitan Library Systems.
