Stefan's National Anthem Proposal to the Bears

My name is Stefan Xidas and I have Down syndrome. Five years ago, I realized my dream by singing the National Anthem at a Chicago Cubs game. While performing in front of 40,000 fans was a significant achievement, I'm now prepared for a greater challenge. With a seating capacity of 61,500, Soldier Field holds the potential for something even more momentous. As a life-long fan of the Chicago Bears, having the honor to sing the National Anthem at one of their games would not only mean the world to me but also to the entire community of people with special needs.

I'm reaching out to Virginia McCaskey and The Chicago Bears with a proposal. If I can raise $5,000 for the Wounded Warriors, I kindly request the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a Bears game as part of our agreement.

Thanks in advance for your support!
