Today, we’re all in on @operationhopehq’s #GreenSocksDay Challenge, focusing on financial empowerment, inclusion and literacy for ALL.

Proud to support Operation Hope as an #InspireChange partner, and their message that a good financial future starts with the right knowledge.

Glad to put our best foot forward for #GreenSocksDay.

Tylen & Timothy, a mentee/mentor duo from @friendschicago, traveled to Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft to help announce the Bears 69th pick 👏

Last year, Friends of the Children Chicago were the Bears Community All Pros winners and were granted $106K!

Check it out! Tylen and his Friend Timothy from @friendschicago took the stage at the 2026 @NFL Draft to help announce the @chicagobears' third-round pick: Stanford TE Sam Roush.

This appearance marks a major milestone for Friends of the Children as a new grant partner in the NFL’s @inspirechange program, which spotlights nonprofits working to create lasting community impact. Thank you to the NFL and to the Chicago Bears for making this moment possible!

Great teams don’t guess, they evaluate. They look for preparation, readiness, and performance under pressure. Why should hiring be any different?

Today marks the first day of the NFL Draft, and as new prospects are picked based on their talent and work ethic, the Game Plan for Opportunity is challenging employers to do the same.

How do you define talent and what do you prioritize when building strong teams? Learn more at the link in bio.

On game day, differences fade. We wear the same colors. We believe in the same outcome. We stand together. What if our workplaces reflected that same unity?

Game Plan for Opportunity invites employers to build teams grounded in trust, preparation, and belief in potential.

We are more alike than different. Learn more at gameplanforopportunity.org at the link in bio.

When someone gets a job, it’s not just a hire. It’s stability for a family. It’s strength for a workplace. It’s safety for a community.

Fair chance hiring doesn’t just build stronger teams, it builds stronger communities and economies.

In this game, it takes all of us. Learn more at gameplanforopportunity.org - link in bio.

When people find work, we see: businesses growing, teams thriving, and communities strengthening.

Fair chance hiring builds stronger rosters–and stronger economies.

We’re all on the same team. Learn more at gameplanforopportunity.org at the link in bio. @inspirechange

On game day, we’re all on the same team. In the workplace, we should be too.
