chicago 2016 olympics w/ nba's dwyane wade

As part of sport Celeb Olympic interview week here on aChicagoThing I’m 
sharing one of my favorite USA gold medalist Olympians born & raised in
 Chicago… Dwyane Wade!  We jumped on camera after a cool dinner a
 couple weeks ago to benefit his charity group- Wade’s World Foundation- which 
”provides support to community-based organizations that promote education, health and social skills for children in at-risk situations.”




Speaking of being philanthropic, Dwyane is presenting a check to the Chicago Public Library today which is huge and hosting 3 fun fundraising events all in the next 3 nights! A Carrnival Cruise Lines benefit dinner 
at the “W” Chicago City Center, a bowling event, and “D. Wade’s Chicago 
has Talent!” (his own American Idol staring local Chicago raw, up and
 coming talent).  For information on all events go to… http://www.wadesworldfoundation.org
