The
murder of two North Chicago youths shocked our communities and spurred
to action Congressman Kirk and Bull's Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.
Community leaders identified a lack of schools activities for nearly
4,000 kids in the North Chicago community as a factor in youth violence.
Kirk and Reinsdorf joined forces to build a world-class basketball
facility in North Chicago - funded by the Chicago Bull's organization.
"Sometimes being a congressman
goes beyond moving government programs. The Bulls built this project
so fast that they had an immediate impact on stopping the cycle
of violence. This is public-private partnership at its best,"
said Kirk during the court unveiling ceremony. |
