The Bulls Are Honored by the Little City Foundation for their Charitable Work

November 14, 2007

The Chicago Bulls will be honored this week by Little City, a Chicago-based foundation widely-regarded for its work in support of children and adults with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Former Bulls legend Bob Love will accept the Little City Partnership Award on behalf of the Chicago Bulls at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner on Friday, November 16th at 7 p.m., at The Standard Club on South Plymouth Court in the windy city. The Bulls were recognized for their dedicated service to the Foundation, just another one of their many philanthropic contributions. The Bulls have made several very generous donations to the foundation and have also hosted Little City residents at home basketball games and invited them to shoot around on the United Center court during pre-game activities. The “Paint the Town” event last month also allowed members of Little City to meet the entire basketball team one-on-one.

Little City was established in 1959 and according to press notes the foundation “remains committed to developing innovative, personalized programs to fully assist and empower people with disabilities in all stages of life. Little City offers a variety of residential options for children and adults, as well as vocational and employment opportunities, a special needs foster care and adoption program, in-home support to families raising a child with developmental disabilities, and an award-winning Center for the Arts that features visual, performance, media and fabric arts.” It’s safe to say that the Bulls are making an important and inspiring contribution in their work with Little City, and although they may not be doing as well as they’d like on the court this season, there’s no doubt that they have a huge and dedicated fan-base backing them up.
