Giving back to his hometown of Chicago, Chance the Rapper donated $1 million dollars to Chicago Public Schools in March. It was a move that Derrick Rose commended and was also necessary as the public school system in Chicago is facing a $215 million budget gap, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Wanting to join in on Chance's efforts, the Chicago Bulls are following suit and are donating a million dollars to Chicago Public Schools as well. Chance himself, announced the news on behalf of the Bulls on Friday:

Just a great move by the Bulls to give back to a city that has supported them since day one.
