The Soldier Field stadium was and still is a staple in the City of Chicago. What the Bears are doing right now as far as giving back to the people of the city is commendable because right now with all the violence going on and with COVID still happening, the team still manages to make contributions for the fans!

Knowing that the team I have cheered for all my life is a big part of READI gives me one more reason to cheer even louder. The organization giving back to communities in this way will help in giving our participants pride in their city and helping them to understand there are other people who care about the direction of their lives. Chicago pride! Thanks Bears!

The Chicago Bears had one of the best defensive lines this year (2020) and last year (2019). I love the way they built the stadium. I went to a Bears game in 2011, and I liked that the Bears gave back to their fans.

I value the support of the Bears organization for READI because it tells me that they care about the community and are willing to put their money where their mouth is! Them seeing the value in the work we do speaks volumes to their commitment to ending the gun violence and healing this city! Thank you!

The Bears are a great team! They are very supportive and they have tons of love for the City of Chicago. The Bears support their fans, and if it wasn’t for the Bears support and contributions to READI, I probably wouldn’t have been able to have a second chance to change my life for myself and my family.

I love our Bears coaches, and they inspire me to be a better READI coach. Just know that I will be a Bears fan until the day I die. I added this picture of my kids wearing Bears gear because I am raising them right!

I enjoy the Bears season because all of my family comes together to reminisce and laugh. The best Bears season for me was 1985 (Super Bowl Shuffle). I value the Bears partnership with READI because of the memories they’ve helped us create, especially with participants in North Lawndale we’ve lost to gun violence.

I’m grateful that the Bears have continued to give back. Their contributions to READI support a safer city, disrupt the cycle of poverty, and show that black and brown lives matter!

I appreciate the Bears because they have stayed consistent in their support to the READI program. A lot of organizations might interact with us on a surface level, but not only have the Chicago Bears come out and given their time in the community, but they have fun and continue to show support to READI Chicago. For this, the Bears have my support!
