Each year, the Bulls spend time giving back to the community during the holiday season and while it looked different than years past, the Bulls continued this important holiday tradition. Made possible by the generous support of our players and corporate partners, the team was able to reach 1,000 Chicagoans with these efforts throughout the holiday season.
