In a recent announcement made by several Chicago sports franchises, the Chicago Sports Alliance, in a collaboration with the Chicago Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs and White Sox that began in 2017, said it will now move forward for a fourth year to combine the reach and resources of the iconic franchises in support of impactful, evidence-based solutions to gun violence in the city.
The group, along with the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, will provide a total of $1.5 million in grants to support READI Chicago (Rapid Employment and Development Initiative) and the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
