Bears safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix will host a fundraising event with his “HERO Foundation” on Monday, Oct. 21 at the Dave & Buster’s in Vernon Hills. The proceeds will go toward the construction of a reading room at a to-be-named, low-income school in Chicago.
It will be the Pro Bowler’s first charity event as a member of the Bears. He signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal in March after spending 2018 with the Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers.
The HERO Foundation was formed in 2017 to empower students of lower socioeconomic levels and provide them with mentorship.
