The Erie SeaWolves partner with regional schools in many ways. If you would like to learn more about any of our learning initiatives, please contact Laina Banic.
C. Wolf visits area schools with an assembly focused on making good, healthy choices. Students are challenged to eat right and be active. If a student completes three tasks from each list of healthy choices, he/she will receive two tickets a SeaWolves home game courtesy of UPMC Health Plan.
Each assembly lasts about 30 minutes and is typically scheduled in February or March. C. Wolf's Healthy Challenge visits are typically limited to elementary schools located within 45 minutes of UPMC Park. Schools located more than 45 minutes away may be considered if multiple nearby schools can be visited on the same day.
C. Wolf’s Reading Club is a free and fun program open to all elementary and middle schools in the Erie region. The program challenges students to read eight books (or hours for students in grades 4-8) from February through the end of March. If students are able to complete the challenge by reading eight books or hours, they receive a free ticket to a SeaWolves game. Students can turn in their completed reading chart to their designated teacher or librarian to receive their reward.
C. Wolf and a SeaWolves representative can visit your school to kick off the program and get students excited about reading. Each school can designate a Reading Club night and be recognized on the field together as a group before the game. Reading Club kickoff visits are typically limited to elementary schools located within 45 minutes of UPMC Park. Schools located more than 45 minutes away may be considered if multiple nearby schools can be visited on the same day.
