Windy City Bulls Partner with Giving Group for Pack the Bus Youth Winter Clothing Drive

Fans are encouraged to donate youth winter clothing items at Windy City’s November 7 game

Hoffman Estates, Ill. – The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, will partner with the Giving Group for a Pack the Bus Youth Winter Clothing Drive in early November. For Windy City’s home game on Saturday, November 7, fans are encouraged to bring youth-sized snow pants, boots, gloves, jackets, hats and other winter accessories to benefit the John Muir Literacy Academy in Hoffman Estates.

Windy City will station the team’s bus outside the main entrance of NOW Arena to collect items beginning at 5pm when doors open. Fans who donate three or more items will receive one free ticket voucher to any Windy City home game for the 2026-27 season.

“At Giving Group, we believe strong communities are built when people and organizations come together with a shared purpose of making a difference,” said Ritesh Shah of Giving Group. “Our partnership with the Windy City Bulls is about more than collecting snow boots and snow pants. It’s about making sure the children of John Muir have the warmth and comfort they need to enjoy the winter months, whether they’re walking to school, playing outside, or simply being kids. We are grateful for community partners like the Windy City Bulls who recognize that small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families right here in our community.”

Windy City’s Pack the Bus initiative furthers the team’s mission of creating a stronger, more unified community. Additional information regarding community events can be found on the Community Page at WindyCityBulls.com.
