When the sports medical supplies recently arrived at Notre Dame College Prep in Niles, members of the Dons football team didn’t hesitate to jump in and help unload the truck.
It was the same spirit of lending a helping hand that the Chicago Wolves displayed when they donated thousands of dollars worth of medical supplies to the school.
The items donated by the American Hockey League franchise will be utilized during the Dons’ athletic programs beginning with the Fall Sports schedule.
The donation process was spearheaded by Wolves owner Don Levin, Wolves Vice Chairman/Governor Wendell Young and Notre Dame College Prep Head Athletic Trainer Kevin Kacer.
“This is so crucial to our athletic program,” said Kacer, who was the Wolves’ athletic trainer for 29 seasons before recently joining Notre Dame College Prep. “This is a high school setting so our training budget is pretty limited and this is going to be very, very helpful.”
Said Young: “The Wolves are thrilled to do our part to help Notre Dame College Prep by donating these supplies. We look forward to following along as the Dons have a successful year both in the classroom and on the playing fields.”
