Yesterday the Chicago Bears and Bears Care, which is the team’s charitable organization, announced that they have invested $611,000 to build a training center and teaching kitchen in the new Healthy Lifestyle Hub that is currently under development by the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation (GAGDC) on Chicago’s South Side.
In addition to this state-of-the-art training/teaching facility, the GAGDC will be turning the vacant building on at 839 W. 79th St. into a Federally Qualified Health Center, pharmacy, bank, restaurants and so much more.
“Carlos Nelson and the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation team have done such an incredible job of gathering input from the community to understand their needs and vision for the area’s future, so investing in the Healthy Lifestyle Hub was an easy decision for us,” said Bears President and CEO Ted Phillips via the team’s website.
