Avison Young Chicago Teams with WNBA

Avison Young’s Chicago office is teaming up with the Women’s Basketball Association (WNBA), as the 2021 Chicago Sky spotlight sponsor. 

After taking an unexpected break from playing games in Chicago due to the pandemic, the Chicago Sky is back at Wintrust Arena on the Near South Side. Meanwhile, Avison Young staff is back in their Chicago and Rosemont offices after more than a year. 

As the presenting sponsor of the Chicago Sky Spotlight Series, Avison Young is endorsing minority-owned/LGBTQ businesses during Pride month throughout June featuring social media storytelling. The firm is also involved with integrating direct messaging on the importance of fostering minority and LGBTQ owned businesses.

“Avison Young’s alliance with the Chicago Sky is about putting people first and taking on the responsibility to be part of the solution,” said Beth Phillips, managing director of the firm’s Chicago office.
