Chicago's Cook County ranked among the top five counties in the nation with more than 100,000 children facing food insecurity, while in Houston one in four children are affected by the issue.

Butler will be encouraging students in Chicago to show off their trick shots to raise awareness of child hunger, and Biles will join in the cause with local Houston students. Kellogg's is donating up to $5,000 to the participating local Chicago and Houston area schools for "buckets" made at the events.
