For his 60th birthday, NBA legend Michael Jordan decided to pay it forward. Jordan, whose birthday is Feb. 17, made a $10 million donation to help children in need.
According to Make-A-Wish, the individual donation is the largest in its 43-year history. Jordan has actively supported the organization since 1989 and granted numerous wishes.
Make-A-Wish president and CEO Leslie Motter was excited to make the historic announcement. Motter expressed gratitude for all of Jordan’s contributions to the organization.
“Everyone knows about Michael’s legacy on the basketball court, but it’s what he has consistently done off the court when no one’s watching that makes him a true legend for wish families and the wider Make-A-Wish community,” Motter said in a statement via Penn Live.
