🏆 OWLS Cup 2026 🏆

A great way to close out the season.

Last Saturday, our players, coaches, families, and volunteers came together at Douglass Park for the first-ever OWLS Cup. We celebrated our award winners for Most Improved, Hardest Working, and OWLS Character—recognizing the growth, effort, and leadership displayed throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this season possible. Here’s to a great summer and an even stronger year ahead!

From the West Side to what’s next—we’re proud to share that Truth Hughes (OWLS Academy Scholars ’26) will be attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Gies College of Business this fall.

Truth will graduate with honors from St. Ignatius College Prep and has earned the illustrious Evans Scholarship to support his college journey.

We’ve known Truth since his days at St. Malachy, and one thing has always been true—he shows up. Over the years, he’s taken full advantage of what’s in front of him. He’s stayed consistent, tried new things, and even started his own business back in 7th grade. Along the way, he earned the Daniel Murphy Scholarship, which helped open the door to Ignatius.

It’s also a reflection of the people around him—especially his family, who have been with him every step of the way.

Truth—we’re proud of you. And grateful to be part of your story!

Last Friday, over 250 OWLS friends, families, and supporters gathered at Venue West Chicago to celebrate ten years of Night OWL.

We had such a spectacular night, filled with drinks and dancing, silent and live auctions, and an unforgettable program featuring our superstar student-athlete, James Cole.

Thanks to your incredible generosity and response, OWLS raised a record $175,000+ for Chicago youth.

We can’t understate how grateful we are for your support. To our amazing community of OWLS supporters, thank you. This is what we can accomplish when we come together.
