Obama Foundation new donors: Neil Bluhm, Steph Curry

New million-dollar-plus donors to the Obama Foundation disclosed on Monday include former Microsoft president John Shirley and his wife, Kimberly, and the foundation run by the family of billionaire Chicago real estate tycoon Neil Bluhm, a major fundraiser for Barack Obama's presidential campaigns.

Also moving up to the million-dollar-plus contributor category is Levi Strauss heir John Goldman and his wife, Marcia; like Bluhm, they also raised a lot of money for Obama's White House bids.

In 2014, Obama named Goldman to the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The foundation run by Golden State Warriors basketball great Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha donated between $10,000 to $100,000; the money comes from the auction earlier this year of a set of Curry's customized basketball shoes.

Curry earmarked the auction money for a program run by the Obama Foundation, My Brothers Keeper Alliance, devoted to helping at-risk young men of color.
