Michael Jordan must surely be in the holiday spirit as the NBA legend recently donated $2 million to help feed people in need.
“In these challenging times and in a year of unimaginable difficulty due to COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to pause and give thanks,” Jordan said.
“I am proud to be donating additional proceeds from ‘The Last Dance‘ to Feeding America and its member food banks in the Carolinas and in Chicago to help feed America’s hungry,” he added.
Of course, “The Last Dance” documentary was wildly successful, so it’s very cool to see MJ using the money to help the less fortunate have a nice holiday.
The people at Feeding America, who consider themselves “the largest charitable food assistance network in the U.S.,” were stoked to receive the gift.
“An incredible gift to be thankful for — NBA legend Michael Jordan is donating $2 million to help our neighbors facing hunger!”
Feed America says it works with 200 food banks and 60,000 food partners across the country, and they’re encouraging everyone who can help to pitch in!
Jordan has been super charitable this year — back in June, he and the Jordan brand pledged $100 million over the next decade to fight racial inequality.
