Chicago Bulls

We took SEE RED to a whole new level with a special “First Look” at our 2024 Bulls Cup Nights court last Friday morning. Alongside our partner Michelob ULTRA, the Bulls hosted a group of 50 journalists and content creators to break in this year’s court.? ? The event featured basketball programming, photo opportunities, an interactive LEGO display of the court, brunch, Benny The Bull, and a special visit from Bulls legend Horace Grant. Horace Grant participated in drills, took photos and caught up with 670 The Score’s Chuck Swirsky, discussing the NBA Cup and his seven years in Chicago.? ? Fans can see the court again, live and in-person, on Nov. 29 when the Bulls host the Boston Celtics for Bulls Cup Nights presented by motorola razr.?

With one week left before the election, our organization has been readying and informing our staff and supporting our communities ahead of this year’s election. ? For our staff, we welcomed The Stanford d.school's Lisa Kay Solomon to facilitate a non-partisan conversation on learning how to be more deliberative and informed voters, as well as how to surface invisible biases and foster productive conversations. Additionally, we continued to encourage full-time employees to take advantage of the time off they receive for voting and volunteering. ? For our communities, we supported Mikva Challenge's annual Parade to the Polls, a holistic initiative that saw 200 students with cognitive, developmental and multiple disabilities become first-time voters and celebrate their voice. Several of those students also attended ChangeFest, a Bulls-supported short film festival featuring five films that inspire civic engagement and a reflective youth-led panel discussion. ? We aren’t done yet, either! The Bulls will continue supporting Mikva Challenge on Election Day, as over 1,200 students will serve as election judges on Nov. 5.? ? Just as Bulls Nation comes out to support us throughout the season, we encourage you to go out and make your voice heard in the community. If you haven’t already, register to vote, research your ballot and vote early!
