The Harness Horse Youth

Wolf has made significant
contributions to the HHYF over the last 22 years, serving as a trustee
and holding the offices of president, vice president, secretary
and treasurer of the organization. He also served as the New Jersey
coordinator for the HHYF's Harness Racing Youth Summer Program for
14 years. Wolf has not only shown that he understands the importance
of attracting new fans, but that he is also willing to take an active
role in the process.
"I truly enjoyed my
tenure with HHYF and believe strongly in the mission. Just in my
professional lifetime, I can actually see the fruits of our labor
when I look around at some of my associates. This organization offers
a wonderful beginning for those who love the racing industry," Wolf
said. "My hope is that more people continue to recognize what HHYF
is accomplishing and that financial support is the key to making
it all happen."
Wolf is also very active
with the Pompano Park Miniature Horse Program. The program is conducted
at the racetrack and educates young people through visits to children's
hospitals, parades, school programs, fundraising and social events.
Wolf will receive the
