The Chicago Football Classic has become a staple in the Chicago area. This year the 14th annual event was held on Labor Day weekend @ Solider Field.

The mission of CFC is to empower youth with enthusiastic hopes, boundless dreams and quest for educational excellence through cultural connections and sports.

August 13th 2011. We set up a Nike room showcasing the options the youth would have to buy at their own shopping event in-

store on August 28th 2011.

Our athletes modeled the clothing, book bags and even worked out with the push-up bars and weight bands. The youth that

performed wore the shoes and jackets that Options Laboratory School would wear in the fall. The event was a huge success.

whatever was needed for the upcoming school year.

some goodies for themselves!
