Koolshundle Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Wow... the updated website is very chic. Like I said before, Chicago will do everything it can in order to land these games... and they really do have a strong shot. These games arent guaranteed to San Fran. Chicago may be the newbie, but they arent playing this game like an amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoFan90 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Today Chicago has reached the halfway point of the $25 million dollars needed for the Olympic Bidding Process. Andrew McKenna, McDonalds Corps Chairman, and Co-Chairman for Chicago 2016 Fundraising says all signs are good to reach or exceed the goal. City halfway to raising Olympics money By Kathy Bergen Tribune staff reporter Published October 26, 2006, 3:50 PM CDT Chicago is halfway to raising the $25 million in private donations needed to finance its bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, the two chief fundraisers said today. "At this point, all signals are good. … I'd be very disappointed if we don't exceed our goal," said McDonald's Corp. Chairman Andrew McKenna, who co-chairs fundraising for the Chicago 2016 Committee along with Deborah DeHaas, vice chairman and regional managing partner for Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. Although many of the contributions so far have come from major corporations and foundations, the committee plans to widen its appeal to the entire community with a fundraiser to be held after the start of the year, McKenna and DeHaas said. The city has committed to raising $5 million in private funds for the domestic phase of the competition, in which Chicago is up against Los Angeles and San Francisco, with a decision expected in April. All three cities must have an additional $20 million deposited in an escrow account by March, which the winning U.S. bidder would put toward an international campaign. Other bidders worldwide could include Tokyo, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Moscow. A final decision on a host city is expected to be announced in October 2009. If Chicago should lose out in the domestic round, the $20 million will be refunded to donors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Chicago's not even the official candidate, yet it already has half the bid budget? That's amazing. It really does seem like Chicago is the most motivated of the US potential bidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA84 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Not that it's Olympic related but did you see the humiliating loss San Francisco suffered today against Chicago? 41-0 at halftime Probably a prelude to what will happen in 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
