P SHERI L. BERTO CENTER O The Chicago Bulls broke ground for the Sheri L. Berto Center on Oct. 21, 1991, and less than a year later the finest facility of N O

S its kind was up and running. The building itself is as unique A

E and impressive as the individual whose name it bears. S 0 1 - Sheri L. Berto, who had been Bulls Chairman Jerry 9

0 Reinsdorf’s long-time assistant, was a favorite among every - one in the organization. On Nov. 23, 1991, the entire Bulls S

D organization experienced a great loss when Sheri passed R

O away suddenly from undiagnosed internal bleeding while a C E

R patient at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.

S In her position as Mr. Reinsdorf’s assistant, Sheri had the D

R opportunity to touch and brighten the lives of countless O

C people from fans to heads of state. Her wonderful sense E R of humor and ability to bring joy to any situation were F F

O immediately missed even more than her considerable Y

A professional skills. L P During the remainder of the 1991-92 season, the team wore L

A black patches on their jerseys in memory of Sheri. When the C I new training facility opened in September 1992, it was R O

T named The Sheri L. Berto Center and dedicated to her mem - S I ory. The building continues to serve as a tribute to the H countless contributions Sheri made to the Bulls, their fans A I and the community, as she is still greatly missed by all who D

E had the pleasure of meeting her. M Y T I N U M M O C
