By The Hand Club For Kids, Grace and Peace Revive Center and Intentional Sports joined the Chicago Fire Foundation, Jason and Vedrana Heyward and state and local leaders to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the North Austin Center, a first-of-its-kind nonprofit campus for sports, education and wellness on Chicago’s West Side. Anchored by three 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, the 10-acre campus situated at 1841 N. Laramie Ave. will enable equitable access to sports, education and holistic wellness services for members of the historically underserved community, serving 25,000 individuals annually and providing more than 100 hours for members of the community to participate in sports, classes and other activities every week. The North Austin Center features 150,000-square-feet of indoor space housing classrooms, an auditorium, two full-size basketball courts and the Chicago Fire FC Field, Chicago’s largest indoor turf field, making year-round competitive sports a reality for everyone. Multiple indoor and outdoor field and play spaces benefit athletes of all ages – from toddlers to seniors. The North Austin Center brings together a host of community-serving organizations equally committed to improving the quality of life and providing the foundation for a strong, healthy and safe community for residents in North Austin.
