Michael Jordan keeps promise to donate court settlement to help Chicago kids

Michael Jordan made good Tuesday on his promise to donate the net proceeds of the multimillion-dollar settlement he received from supermarkets Dominick's and Jewel-Osco to nonprofits helping Chicago kids, his advisers said.

"I care deeply about the city of Chicago and have such incredible memories from my years there," Jordan said in a news release. "The 23 charities I've chosen to make donations to all support the health, education and well-being of the kids of Chicago. Chicago has given me so much and I want to give back to its kids — the city's future."
