On 8/15, the Sky recorded 3 blocked shots totaling $3,000 to the Angel C. Reese Foundation to help combat cyberbullying. Thank you Magellan Corporation for the generous match and Skytown for supporting the NET’s “block the negativity/post up positivity” campaign.

On the court, they're tough, uncompromising, gritty, talented to the extreme. Off the court? FUN. The athletes of the Chicago Sky WNBA were absolutely fantastic guests of honor at the Magellan / Chicago Sky Dinner at #Steak48Chicago on Thursday, August 1. These dynamic women, along with their fabulous front office and coaching staff, joined Magellan clients, friends and employees for a lovely evening of cocktails, dinner, conversation and fun. LOTS of fun. While the WNBA is enjoying record viewership in 2024 (WNBA averaging 1.3M viewers / game -- triple from last season) Magellan is hardly a new fan. We’ve been proudly supporting the team for a decade. And this year’s women are truly something special. Heartfelt thanks to Chicago Sky, our wonderful clients and staff for making the evening memorable for all. #PlayLikeAGirl #WNBA #MagellanFamily

Lincoln Road is so excited to be named a “Proud Partner” of the Chicago Sky WNBA. Together, we will be working to advance women’s leadership and empower women and girls across Chicagoland. These amazing athletes are role models who “bring their game” every day, showing the world what hard work, dedication, and resilience can achieve. With them, we’ll be acknowledging and celebrating women’s accomplishments in the coming year through workshops, speaking opportunities, and gatherings that showcase Chicago’s women leaders and connect them with each other. Join us in cheering them on! https://lnkd.in/gCwN_TzX

The Sky that lit up the smiles. On Tuesday, June 18, Magellan was ecstatic to host the entire Chicago Sky WNBA team, their coaches and front office staff for a spectacular Lunch & Learn enjoyed by 180 of our closest clients, colleagues, friends, and staff, as well as Deerfield Mayor Dan Shapiro, IL State Representative Bob Morgan, and representatives from offices of IL State Senator Julie Morrison and US Congressman Brad Schneider. We also hosted some VERY special guests -- kids from our Chicago Sky / Magellan designated nonprofit partner, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago. While these athletes are finally capturing the attention they deserve, Magellan is certainly no newcomer to the WNBA -- we're celebrating a DECADE of sponsoring the Sky! #AngelReese? #KamillaCardosa? #ChennedyCarter? #DiamondDeShields? #MarinaMabrey? #DanaEvans? #ElizabethWilliams? All there, along with the rest of this powerhouse team. Beginning with autographs, pics, and meet-and-greets, the day commenced with an impassioned chalk talk with team GM #JeffPagliocca and the electric Coach T, #TeresaWeatherspoon. Lunch and more meeting-and-greeting followed. But the pictures -- the pictures really say it all! Thanks, Sky, for a day that will be remembered by every attendee. #womensbasketball #playlikeagirl #WNBA
