The most compassionate human act is that in which we truly extend ourselves to touch the life of another.

Not the kind of touch that is fleeting, lingering only for a moment before turning cold with the passing of time. But the warm, lasting impression left on one’s heart from a sincere extension of the soul.

To truly touch and perhaps alter a life, one cannot succeed with a mere brief encounter or single act. To leave a life-long imprint requires a genuine compassion, a dedication of time and a sincere interest in the well-being of others.

Millions of people long for that human connection each day. They yearn for the moment when their needs, however big or small, will be recognized by someone who offers assistance and concern. These individuals live in our neighborhoods, attend our schools, belong to our churches and share our sidewalks.

As an organization that survives on the loyalty and support of its community, the Chicago Bulls believe it is not only our duty to reach out to those in need around us, it is our strongest passion. Whatever challenges we face as a basketball team, no mission is greater than that of building a community.

Aside from winning games and entertaining our fans, we have a responsibility and a desire to actively contribute to the growth of our society.

To do so, we aim each day to assist with the education and development of our youth, contribute to organizations that provide services to needy families and improve our city’s struggling neighborhoods.

It is through these efforts that we are determined to leave a lifelong impression on those in need, in our schools, on the court, in the community and on our fans.
