The Chicago Sky is on another losing streak, following their win over the Washington Mystics on August 5. Angel Reese’s absence is a big reason for this slide, as the player is out due to a back injury. But the star is utilizing her time for a social cause.
Following the announcement of her signature Reebok shoes, the forward used her star power and collaboration with Reebok to help those in need.

As part of the ‘back to school’ initiative, thousands of students received school supplies and essentials. The 23-year-old WNBA player also played her part in the noble work. Through her organization, the Angel C. Reese Foundation, Reese supplied over 2,000 Chicago students with Reebok backpacks.
This was her second visit to the event, and she made the most of the opportunity by giving back to society. She even posted her work on social media, showing joy in helping others.
“2000 students, 2000 reasons to celebrate. Our Back-to-school bash was a true community effort, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing partners, sponsors, community organizations and volunteers,” Angel Reese wrote on her Instagram post. The Sky franchise also shared a post, praising its star player.
