Last week we brought you the news of the Chicago Fire partnering with Equality Illinois on a number of events all summer long.

The first event as part of the partnership was a Chicago Fire presence at Equality Illinois’ July First Friday cocktail party on the 6th. Goalkeeper Jay Nolly and defender Dan Gargan, both members of our Allies list, represented the team at the event.

Thank you to Equality Illinois for the photos and we look forward to seeing what Fire players at next week’s pie toss!
