McKie's Troops - Movie Night!
On Monday, November 16, Jason McKie and the Jason McKie Foundation of the Institute for Science and Health hosted more than 350 military members and their families for a night at the movies at Marcus Gurnee Cinemas. McKie was joined by some of his Bears' teammates for the event. The Jason McKie Foundation rented out the theatre for the military, provided everyone with refreshments and the group watched the Disney's "A Christmas Carol".
The Jason McKie Foundation of the Institute for Science and Health focuses on programs in the areas of education and wellness with an emphasis on making an impact in the lives of families of soldiers. The Foundation provides educational scholarships to military dependents affected by a loss or severely injured parent or spouse. Through the Foundation, Jason hosts various activities with military families such as this movie night to give back to those who give so much to our country. McKie also provides tickets for each Bears' home game to military families and recognizes one soldier on the field prior to the game through McKie's Troops.
