The Chicago Bears Collin Wehr Scholarship program provides financial assistance to young cancer survivors or the siblings of children who lost their battle with pediatric cancer. The scholarship program is designed to ease the financial and emotional hardships associated with fighting cancer and to provide the opportunity for young people affected by cancer to pursue their college education.

In partnership with PNC Bank, the Chicago Bears conduct visits throughout the school year with players, alumni, Staley Da Bear, and front office staff to various schools and early learning centers to read to students in hopes of fueling their love for reading.

The Chicago Bears partner with United Way of Metro Chicago and Everfi to bring NFL Character Playbook to almost 10,000 students each school year. NFL Character Playbook is a digital learning experience that exposes middle school aged students to online modules about building healthy relationships, anti-bullying, mental wellness and more. This free program is actively utilized in over 150 schools in Chicago.

Alongside our partner CDW, the Chicago Bears understand the work that good, quality teachers often do goes unnoticed. Classroom Legends powered by CDW seeks to honor educators who go above and beyond. During each Chicago Bears season, the Chicago Bears will be honoring teachers all across Chicagoland. Nominations are accepted year round.
