WINDY CITY WISHES: CAL'S ANGELS HOLIDAY HOOPS

The Windy City Bulls teamed up with Cal’s Angels this season for a special edition of Holiday Hoops. Five families from the St. Charles-based non-profit attended team practice and participated in shootaround on Windy City's home court with players and our fuzzy friend Gus T. After practice, Windy City players and the coaching staff helped make wishes come true with a shopping trip. Windy City is proud to partner with Cal's Angels and hopes to continue to impact our shared community.
