Serve Up Hope. Champion a Child’s Future.
TMYL's Chicago Celebration is all about coming together—on and off the court—to connect, give back, and support young people through the power of sport and mentorship.
When you participate in the Chicago Celebration, you’re helping open doors for the young people we serve. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, 93 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to our programs, providing access to academic enrichment, physical activity, mentorship, and life-changing opportunities for kids and teens.
Whether you’re playing, attending, or sponsoring, your support helps make moments like this—and futures full of possibility—possible. Join us in Chicago to play, connect, and celebrate while making a lasting difference.
