Remember when we told you about some grinch who embezzled $25,000 from Toys for Tots? As Chicagoans saw the news and collectively thought, "What an asshole!" plenty of people reached out to help with sizable donations. Best of all, a donor has already jumped in with a fat check to cover the difference. The Tribune writes:

A man came in with a $25,000 check to cover the missing amount, said Toys for Tots Chicagoland treasurer Janet Malpede.

The donor's only stipulation? That he remains anonymous and that the gift be in memory of Sid Luckman, the Chicago Bears quarterback during the 1940s who led the team to four championships.

Luckman, eh? Well, whoever you are, you're the MVP of Chicago this week. Luckman: 25,000 — Grinch: 0.
