The Pat Tillman Foundation will host 2026 Pints for Pat Chicago, a
fundraiser that brings Chicago-area supporters together to raise a pint and invest directly in
the next class of Tillman Scholars. The evening is built for connection: local co-investors,
Tillman Scholars, and Foundation staff sharing a room and building the kind of community
that carries the mission forward.
Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, 5:30 p.m. CT
Mary Jo McGuire’s, 2251 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Pat Tillman Foundation staff, Tillman Scholars, and Chicago-area supporters
Before he left the NFL to become an Army Ranger, Pat Tillman studied his playbook
over pints of Guinness at Rula Bula Irish Pub in Tempe, Arizona. He left his own glass on the
shelf, for the day he would return. Pints for Pat carries that tradition into cities nationwide,
turning a pub tradition into an investment in the next generation of leaders. 60 or fewer
Tillman Scholars are selected each year from thousands of applicants, and go on to lead
across every sector of society. Every pint raised in Chicago helps fund that pipeline.
Tickets: givebutter.com/pints-for-pat-2026. $75 per ticket.
