As frustrating as Chicago sports teams tend to make us, this is truly what it’s all about. Each organization has such a massive reach, and it’s great to see them band together for the betterment of the community we all love and share.
Let’s only hope we see more of the same in the years to come.
Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day.#WearOrange to spread awareness for those impacted by gun violence.
