The backyard experience, an Illinois 501(c)3 nonprofit, with the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity—Chicagoland, in cooperation with the Windy City Bulls brought the Chuck Jones Big Draw experience to Sears Center in Hoffman Estates on January 4 during which the Windy City Bulls played the Westchester Knicks.
The Chuck Jones Big Draw featuring Looney Tunes, presented by Zenni was a special event that benefited the backyard experience, which serves after-school arts education programs, healing arts in healthcare programs, visual articulation for special needs, and creative events in our communities. Highlights of this special evening included a Gus T. Bull & Marvin the Martian Sculpture Giveaway, Looney Tunes theme art stations throughout the concourse, as well as Looney Tunes music & cartoons. Looney Tunes-themed jerseys will be worn by both the Windy City and Westchester teams and will be auctioned off to benefit both the backyard experience and a New York-based art education organization.
A similar event took place on December 27 at the Westchester Knick’s arena in White Plains, NY, in a game against the Windy City Bulls. Photos from both events below.
