Chicago Wolves News Release
Chicago Wolves center RILEY HOLZAPFEL and defenseman CHAD DENNY will make appearances at local libraries on Tue., Dec. 16, as part of the 14th year of the team's "Read to Succeed" program, sponsored by Pace. Members of the team will visit 30 libraries throughout the Chicago area this season.

Evergreen Park Library 9400 S. Troy Avenue 6:30 p.m.
Chad Denny Midlothian Library 14701 S. Kenton Avenue 7:00 p.m.
HOLZAPFEL and DENNY will focus on the role of reading and education in their lives as professional athletes and emphasize the importance of recreational reading. Additionally, the Wolves players will dress a child in hockey equipment, raffle Wolves prizes and sign autographs.
The "Read to Succeed" program encourages children to utilize the many resources libraries have to offer and highlights the benefits of reading outside of the classroom. Each participant in the program sets an individual reading goal and has the chance to win prizes, including Wolves hats, mini bobbleheads of the Wolves mascot, Skates, and tickets to home games for achieving their reading goals.
Each year, the Wolves reach more than 30,000 children through "Read to Succeed" and the DuPage, North Suburban and Metropolitan Library Systems. The program has reached nearly 450,000 kids since its inception in 1995.
