White Sox Honor Culture through Local Community at AAPI Heritage Night

Throughout May, the White Sox proudly celebrated Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and invited fans to join in recognizing the contributions of AAPI communities across Chicagoland and beyond. Marking this special occasion, the organization held AAPI Heritage Night earlier this week at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Festivities began before the game with a performance of a traditional Lion Dance by the John Charles Haines Elementary School dance team outside Gate 5. Fans also enjoyed exploring the BMO Local Business Hub, which featured several AAPI-owned local businesses. The hub offered the local diverse businesses an opportunity to showcase a variety of goods ranging from Filipino-inspired stickers, greeting cards, and keychains from Magayon Chicago, or innovative boba creations from Amber Agave.
