The Chicago Bulls and The Miracle Center (TMC), a female-owned and operated community center that empowers youth through the expression of art and performance, celebrated the unveiling of a new basketball court on the Northwest side of Chicago in the Belmont Cragin Community. In partnership with All-Star Press and Connors Sports, the Bulls worked with local painter and muralist Liz Flores to redesign TMC’s basketball court. Artist, Liz Flores created TMC’s court with art that is culturally reflective of the center and Chicago Bulls Latiné communities. TMC recently expanded to a larger facility that includes a new sports program and basketball court, ensuring that Chicago youth have access to resources and opportunities that encourage youth development. Over 200 TMC families and alumni along with Bull’s entertainment and Benny The Bull gathered to celebrate this milestone. TMC Founder Mary Santana and Associate Director Vanessa Torres held time for brief remarks before TMC history was captured with a passing of the ball moment to honor all who helped with the project and a first shot thrown by Mary Santana.
