Hartford Wolf Pack Community Foundation
The Hartford Wolf Pack has been dedicated to giving back to their community since coming to Hartford in 1997. The Hartford Wolf Pack Community Foundation was formed 11 years ago to coordinate and manage the community relations and fundraising efforts of the club. To date, the Foundation has raised over a million dollars for charitable causes.

In-Game Fundraising
50/50 Raffle
The Wolf Pack hold a 50/50 raffle at every home game. A member of the promotional team sells raffle tickets throughout the game, and the winning ticket receives half (50%) of the money. The other half is used for the Hartford Wolf Pack Community Foundation’s charitable initiatives.
Jersey Girl Raffle
During each home game a member of the Wolf Pack promotional team wears a Wolf Pack team signed jersey and sells tickets for a chance to win it.
Chuck-a-Puck
Orange foam pucks are “rented” from the Chuck-a-Puck stand and during the second intermission fans throw their pucks onto the ice aiming for the target. The puck that makes it into the target or closest to it wins a Wolf Pack prize!
Holiday Toy Toss
Annually, fans are encouraged to bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal to a designated Wolf Pack game to donate. When the Wolf Pack score their first goal of the game fans throw their stuffed animals onto the ice. All donations collected are distributed to local children’s hospitals, shelters, and charitable organizations.
Jersey Auctions
This year the Wolf Pack players will be wearing limited edition specialty jerseys at designated home games. After each respective game the jerseys will be autographed and awarded to the highest bidder. The proceeds raised through these exciting auctions will go to a charitable organization chosen by the Hartford Wolf Pack Community Foundation and Team.
