This summer, Notre Dame’s quarterback room will go on the road for a good cause. Or rather, causes, both near and dear to them. On June 26th, join current and former Irish signal-callers Riley Leonard, C.J. Carr, Kenny Minchey, Blake Hebert, and Anthony Rezac at QB’s For a Cause. This event, in conjunction with the Notre Dame Club of Chicago, takes place from 6-9pm at Wintrust’s Grand Banking Hall, 231 S. LaSalle Street in the South Loop.

It has helped people get better access to food, water, education, and more.
