Most Chicago 2016 employees to join the jobless starting Oct. 15

The end of the story caught my eye:

Chicago's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics was privately funded, with the team raising more than $72 million in cash donations. The team pledged to give at least $13 million to fund World Sport Chicago, an organization started along with the city's bid to promote amateur and youth sport.

World Sport Chicago, formed in 2007, has received $12 million so far, said Scott Myers, executive director of the organization. He said additional money will come to the group once Chicago 2016 closes out its financial books.

World Sport Chicago works out of the Aon Center, where the bid committee was headquartered, and will look for new offices for its staff of four full-time employees and three interns.

"We had hoped to continue on with Chicago 2016 with the Olympics," Myers said. "Now, we are planning to be a stand-alone entity."

Myers said the goal is to have 10,000 children a year involved in a sports program.

Say what you want about the Chicago 2016 people, it appears they're coming through on the money they pledged to World Sport Chicago.
