The Bears hosted and participated in a variety of events honoring and supporting the military ahead of Nov. 9's Salute to Service game against the Panthers at Soldier Field.

Receiver Chase Claypool and England Rugby legend Ugo Monye joined children in London for a 90-minute clinic which is designed to inspire and encourage more kids to pick up an American Football for the first time. This was one of the six-city tour stops which saw the Bears, along with alumni Shaun Gayle and Kasseem Sinceno, travel across the United Kingdom and reach approximately 2,000 children from over 50 schools. Mini Monsters clinics, brought to you by United Airlines, provide free youth coaching for boys and girls between the ages of 7-12 and stress the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and proper hydration through fun, non-contact American football drills helping young people to build confidence through access to a new sport.

Every season, the Brian Piccolo Award is given to one rookie and one veteran who best exemplifies the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of the late Bears running back. Take a look at the winners of this award dating back to 1970.
