Connecticut Whale News Release
HARTFORD, November 11, 2008: Northland AEG announced today that a pair of Hartford Wolf Pack Community Foundation fund-raisers this week raised a total of over $22,000 for a pair of worthy causes.
This past Sunday, November 9th, the entire Wolf Pack team participated in the Wolf Pack Community Foundation's annual "Bowl-a-Thon" at AMF Silver Lanes in East Hartford. That event raised a total of $21,994 for Special Olympics Connecticut, through pledges solicited by the four-person bowling teams.
Then, last night, selected Wolf Pack players took part in a night of glow-in-the-dark mini-golf with young fans, in the Pack's first-ever "Monster Mini-Golf" event. Held at Monster Mini-Golf in Windsor Locks, that outing generated $330 for Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
Over the course of the Wolf Pack's history, the Wolf Pack Community Foundation has donated more than $1.1 million in funds to various local charitable causes. The mission statement for the Community Foundation is, "To help fund charitable and non-profit endeavors that offer support to inner-city youth, amateur sport, and promote the health, education, and well-being of Connecticut's children."
