Chicago Sky to Host Girl Scouts Forever Green Festival

The Chicago Sky met the Tulsa Shock for the first time at Allstate Arena on Saturday, June 5 for Go Green Night. Chicago Sky All-Stars Sylvia Fowles, Jia Perkins and Shameka Christon led the Sky to a 95-70 win over former Olympian and NCAA Champion, Marion Jones, Amber Holt and the Shock.

To celebrate the WNBA’s “Go Green” week, the Sky, in conjunction with Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana and Motorola, also hosted the inaugural Forever Green Festival for fans prior to the game.

The Forever Green Festival started at 3:30pm and showcased Girl Scouts Forever Green Community Action Projects and included several environmentally friendly activities for kids including a battery and cell phone recycling site, displays from the Field Museum, Chicago Hostel, Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, the Illinois Secretary of State’s Bicycle Safety Course and Take Action training sessions presented by the Girl Scouts.

There was a registration fee for the festival of $20 that included entry to the Forever Green Festival, food and drink, a commemorative patch and visor and admission to see the Sky take on the Shock. For every registration fee submitted, the Sky donated $5 back to the Girl Scouts.
