We want our kids on the basketball court and not in the courtroom.

Every single night, seven nights a week, thousands of people are out spending money at live music venues. You get eight Bears games a year drawing 60,000 people, but many, many more come to our venues over the course of a year. Every night of the week in Chicago is a music festival on par with anything in New York, L.A. or Nashville.

Some of our kids don't have the basic necessities. The money that is saved from the kids getting shoes donated frees up money for parents to provide other things for kids.
