On January 4, 2025, the United Center became the gathering spot for Chicago to celebrate Derrick Rose, one of its most beloved athletes. The Bulls hosted an evening dedicated to Rose’s incredible NBA career, and Magellan Corporation was proud to sponsor. We invited a couple dozen of our valued partners and staff to join us for a night filled with basketball, memories, and a little magic.

From his early days at Simeon Career Academy to becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history, Rose’s journey has been a source of pride for Chicagoans. The halftime tribute highlighted his contributions to the Bulls and the city, culminating in the announcement that his No. 1 jersey will soon hang in the rafters—a moment that brought cheers and a few tears.

Magellan’s guests enjoyed a special reception, premium seating and access to the United Center’s VIP amenities, immersing themselves in the excitement of the event. The atmosphere was vibrant, with fans celebrating Rose’s impact both on and off the court. It was a special opportunity to come together and share in a uniquely Chicago experience.

At Magellan, we believe in building connections through meaningful moments. Sponsoring Derrick Rose Night allowed us to offer our partners and friends an evening they won’t soon forget. It’s our way of showing appreciation and sharing in the events that bring our community together.

As the night wrapped up with a Bulls win, it was clear that Derrick Rose’s legacy—and the memories of this celebration—will continue to inspire.
