The Chicago Wolves hockey organization has long been a champion for dogs in need, and to start 2025 off on the right paw, they took their commitment to the next level. On January 18 and 19, the Wolves hosted one of their most impactful charitable initiatives yet at Allstate Arena—an Animal Adoption Awareness event that combined the thrill of hockey with the heartwarming mission of dog rescue.
In a powerful show of support for animal welfare, the Chicago Wolves took to the ice wearing exclusive Animal Adoption Awareness jerseys presented by Campfire Marshmallows. These one-of-a-kind jerseys not only highlighted the importance of pet adoption but also served as a crucial fundraising tool to benefit local shelters.
Fans eager to own a piece of this special event had the opportunity to acquire the jerseys through blind and silent auctions, both online and at Allstate Arena. Proceeds went directly to Border Tails Rescue, Wright Way Rescue, Anderson Humane, and Chicago Wolves Charities, driven by Kia.
