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.
