What an unforgettable night at Wrigley Field 💙⚾️ The Happ Foundation was honored to host the Latino Baseball Classic Champions — Solorio Academy and Farragut Career Academy — for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From an incredible meet & greet with Ian, autographs, and dinner, to capping off the night with a thrilling Chicago Cubs walk-off win… this was more than just a game. It was a celebration of resilience, community, and the power of opportunity. These young athletes represent so much heart and determination, and we are proud to continue creating moments that inspire what’s possible — on and off the field.

We’re proud to support the future of the game—and the incredible young people behind it. The Happ Foundation is honored to donate $50,000 to First Tee of Greater Chicago in support of their mission to make golf accessible to all kids across our community. At The Happ Foundation, we believe in the power of sports to build confidence, character, and opportunity. First Tee is doing just that—creating meaningful impact both on and off the course. We’re grateful to play a small part in helping grow the game and empower the next generation.

A few weeks we hosted friends from Jahn Elementary and @FirstTeeChicago. Nothing quite like watching kids step onto Wrigley for the very first time, wide eyes, big smiles, & lots of laughter. Here’s to more memories, more firsts, & more kids experiencing the magic of Wrigley!
