Roquan Smith partnering with a local barber shop to give free haircuts in Chicago!
Judy Wang of WGN9 reported a very heart-warming story about Bears LB Roquan Smith. I'm sure you are all aware that Smith is currently involved in many talks about his holdout and his potential contract extension. However, Smith still took the time to do a great gesture to helping the community.
Wang reported that Chicago Bear Roquan Smith and owner of Sweeney Taud Studioz hosted their first «Back to School» bash in the South Loop.
For eight hours, the barbershop, located in the 2200 block of S. Michigan Ave., helped more than 100 children starting classes Monday get a fresh start by providing haircuts, braiding and snacks at no cost.
Smith, who on Saturday announced that he intends to play out the final year of his contract with the Bears, said in a statement, «I want to be able to support our youth and families in any way, shape, and form. It's always been my passion to serve and uplift our communities.
«Chicago has always been a second home to me, and the fans have always treated me amazingly. I will always give this city my heart on and off the field.»
This is so great to see him using his tremendous platform in good measure.
