🏀 Happy Father’s Day from VBA Chicago! 🏀

Today we celebrate all the fathers, grandfathers, coaches, mentors, and father figures who lead by example both on and off the court.

Thank you for the sacrifices, guidance, and unwavering support you provide to your families and our community. Your impact extends far beyond the game, helping shape the next generation through hard work, discipline, and love.

From all of us at VBA Chicago, we wish you a Happy Father’s Day! ❤️🏀

Today, we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth.

Juneteenth marks the day when the last enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom in 1865. It is a time to reflect on our history, celebrate progress, and continue building stronger communities through education, opportunity, and unity.

At VBA Chicago, we believe sports have the power to bring people together and create positive opportunities for youth from all backgrounds.

Happy Juneteenth. ❤️🖤💚
