An alliance that includes the Chicago Bears made a huge donation to the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation and Robb School Memorial Fund.
The official community news of the Chicago Bears reported that they have made a very generous donation, with the help of other Chicago-based sports teams.
Now in its fifth year, the Alliance was created to address the issue of increasing gun violence across the city of Chicago, dedicated to lending its collective influence and resources to support data-driven, proven solutions impacting the root cause of gun violence.
In a statement, the Alliance said, "Twenty-one smiles in Uvalde, Texas, lost. Just days before that, 10 smiles in Buffalo, lost. And unfortunately, across our own city, too many smiles were lost to this same issue. It is our responsibility to those innocent lives lost to do more. We are committed to making a difference through the resources in our power to solve this gun violence epidemic. Lives depend on it. This is not a game."
Each organization's $50,000 commitment benefits the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, a national nonprofit whose mission is to end school shootings and create cultural change that prevents violence and other harmful acts that hurt children, as well as the official fund at First State Bank of Uvalde for the families affected by the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022.
