Sport for Good Chicago

Launched in June 2018, Sport for Good Chicago is a long-term commitment that helps improve the lives of under-served youth through the power of sport. By bringing together dedicated leaders, providing resources, and facilitating collaboration at the local level, Sport for Good Chicago helps ensure that more children and youth have access to high quality, youth-centered sports programs

Sport for Good Chicago is Laureus’s fourth Sport for Good City, built on learnings and experience from our collective impact efforts in Atlanta, New Orleans, and New York City.
