Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan is making a record-breaking $10 million donation to Make-A-Wish America in honor of his upcoming 60th birthday
The gift is the largest given by an individual in the foundation’s 43-year history. Jordan, who turns 60 on Friday, hopes his donation will inspire others to support Make-A-Wish. “For the past 34 years, it’s been an honor to partner with Make-A-Wish and help bring a smile and happiness to so many kids,” the Charlotte Hornets owner said in a statement. “Witnessing their strength and resilience during such a tough time in their lives has truly been an inspiration.
He has “granted hundreds of wishes to children all over the world,” according to the organization. Jordan was named a Make-A-Wish ambassador “for the life-changing impact he has had on wish kids and their families” in 2008. “Michael using his birthday as a chance to make history for Make-A-Wish speaks to the quality of his character and his loyal dedication to making life better for children with critical illnesses,” said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America.
