The G.O.A.T is going big for his 60th birthday and giving back to the community.
The six-time champion is making a $10 million donation to Make-A-Wish on Friday, which is the largest donation the organization has seen in 43 years.
“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,” Jordan said in a news release. “Witnessing their strength and resilience during such a tough time in their lives has truly been an inspiration.”
Jordan’s connection with the Make-A-Wish organization was first established in 1989. The former NBA star’s goal is to inspire others to help children’s wishes come true.
“He has granted hundreds of wishes to children all over the world and remains one of the most requested celebrity wish granters. He was named Make-A-Wish chief wish ambassador in 2008 for what the organization called the ‘life-changing impacts he has had on wish kids and their families,'” according to ESPN.
“I can’t think of a better birthday gift than seeing others join me in supporting Make-A-Wish so that every child can experience the magic of having their wish come true,” Jordan said.
