I was inspired by Chance The Rapper to ‘think bigger’ when he pledged one million dollars to Chicago kids and their school system. So, I’ll be joining him by investing in the future of our youth.
On Friday, the Chicago Bulls announced they would be donating $1 million dollars to Chicago Public Schools. Chance the Rapper joined Bulls officials for the announcement.
According to the Chicago Tribune, 12 schools will receive an additional $10,000 and have already received their checks. At the announcement, Chance said “It is my job, just as who I am, to bring light and attention to public school funding, broken formulas and especially how it affects my hometown ... where there’s 90 percent minority students.”
it is great to see athletes and teams follow Chance’s lead in helping the youth of Chicago.
