(CHICAGO) – The Chicago Bulls and BMO Harris Bank announced today that they are teaming up to support the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago’s Urban Warriors program, which connects military veterans of recent wars with youth who have experienced trauma or violence and live in high-crime neighborhoods in Chicago, including Little Village/Pilsen, Humboldt Park/Logan Square and South Chicago. The partnership provides Urban Warriors participants the opportunity to share special experiences together, create memories and strengthen the bond between the youth and veterans.
As part of the partnership, the Bulls and BMO Harris Bank will host a group of students and veterans from the YMCA Urban Warriors program at four home games throughout the remainder of the 2015-16 season.
