Like other businesses across the country, Swish House has felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hoops 2 Homework program we operate with the Chicago Bulls and Transunion at Mercy Home is the shining example of what we can do with other like-minded people!” “Ideally we want to partner with entities that cater to kids, because though we’re a for-profit, our mission is to make the world a healthier, happier place by unifying and strengthening communities through basketball. Our business model is to activate those courts, create a mutually beneficial partnership and ultimately an affordable fitness solution for basketball community.” Dues said. “We built the company predicated on the idea that there’s a lot of hidden gem indoor basketball courts in great neighborhoods, like Mercy Home, that sit empty for portions of the day when people want to work out. When the idea for Swish House was hatched in 2018 and needed a facility partner in the West Loop, Mercy Home became their primary location. In 2009, Dues and his wife moved to the West Loop and first connected with Mercy Home through volunteering and fundraising. Swish House offers basketball fitness classes for anyone who loves the game – all skill and fitness levels are welcome.
We want to do whatever we can for them in their time of need because they were so wonderful to us in our time of need when we started this company. This has been a rough stretch for the Home because of the pandemic.
