This year, on (312) Day, the Chicago Sky and the All-Star 2026 Host Committee partnered with Gatorade to bring the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association)'s Line 'Em Up initiative to Chicago! In collaboration with the Chicago Park District, Hamilton Park on the South Side is now the first community court in Chicago with the WNBA’s Fire Orange 3-point line, a bold symbol inspiring girls and women to continue shining on the basketball court. Michael Alter, Nadia Rawlinson, Adam Fox, and Awvee Storey joined Carolyn Braff, PepsiCo VP of Sports and Entertainment, and Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, Chicago Park District General Superintendent and CEO, to welcome local Chicago Public Schools students to Hamilton Park for the day's programming. Allie Quigley, Host Committee Ambassador, Chicago Sky legend, and 4x WNBA 3-Point Champion, took the first three-point shot. Students then enjoyed a basketball clinic led by Quigley and fellow Sky legend, Host Committee Ambassador, and the South Side's own Linnae Harper. Thanks to Gatorade, the first official Line ‘Em Up partner in Chicago, for supporting young female athletes with hydration, nutrition, and resources to fuel their performance as well as all our community partners who made this day possible!
