There was plenty of fun to be had off the court during recent Magellan-sponsored NBA All Star 2020 weekend. Clients and friends from around the globe joined us for a few chilly February days of friendship, basketball, music, and dining.  More than great basketball was enjoyed – although there was plenty of that. Friday featured a lunchtime concert in a WXRT-FM radio private studio with the Nick Moss Band, who were joined by famed Chicago Blues musicians Kate Moss and Dave Specter.

Saturday’s dinner at a local favorite, Steak 48, included athletes from the Chicago Red Stars, WNBA Chicago Sky, Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky, and Chicago Bulls legends Horace Grant and Toni Kukoc. Magellan values relationships with clients during and after business hours.

Tennis great and gender equality icon Billie Jean King visited Magellan Corporation offices on – fittingly – International Day of the Girl, Friday, October 11, 2019. The theme of International Day of the Girl was GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable. More than 350 friends from the sports, philanthropic, diplomatic, educational, journalistic, civic and corporate sectors gathered for a luncheon and Q & A led by WNBA All-Star from the Chicago Sky, Jantel Lavender.

Billie Jean and Lavender spoke of the strides made toward gender equality in sports, the road ahead, and all things in between. An extraordinary day with extraordinary people. Promoting women-forward initiatives, including in athletics, STEM studies, and in the civic and business arenas, is a pillar of Magellan’s community involvement. Unscripted and Unstoppable!
