Chicago-based ‘peace’ basketball league started by foundation of former Bulls center Joakim Noah tip

A city basketball league created by the foundation of former Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah has just tipped off its third season. The One City Basketball League, as its website states, is a Chicago-based peace league that operates in partnership with 28 community-based violence prevention organizations. It’s one of the core programs of the Noah’s Arc Foundation, which was founded in 2010 by Noah and his mother, Cecilia Rodhe, to provide opportunities for youth from under-invested communities.
