Building Bridges in the Windy City
DePaul Women's Basketball took part in three distinct activations throughout the recent WNBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago, blending on‑court action with off‑court outreach.
A centerpiece of the weekend was a youth basketball clinic held at Revel Motor Row, where the Blue Demons teamed up with Breakthrough, a Chicago‑based nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved athletes.
Following the clinic, DePaul student‑athletes and coaches led a Q&A and meet‑and‑greet, giving young participants a chance to interact directly with the team; head coach Jill M. Pizzotti also represented the program at the Line 'Em Up Community Activation in Robichaux Park.
The following day, Voice in Sport hosted a live studio session at the Voice in Sport Studio, where DePaul staff joined active WNBA players for a conversation that underscored the shared mission of mentoring and advocating for women in sports.
To further connect with the local media landscape, DePaul invited a group of Chicago‑based content creators to Wintrust Arena during the WNBA Three‑Point and Skills Challenge, using the platform to build relationships with influencers and raise awareness for the upcoming season.
