Michael Jordan donates a record $10MILLION to Make-A-Wish for his 60th birthday

Six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan celebrates his 60th birthday on Friday with an incredible $10 million donation to Make-A-Wish.

It is the largest donation ever received from an individual in the organization’s 43-year history.

“For the past 34 years, it has been an honor to partner with Make-A-Wish and help bring a smile and happiness to so many children,” the former basketball star said in a press release.

“Witnessing their strength and resilience during such a difficult time in their lives has truly been an inspiration.”

Jordan, now the owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, first endorsed Make-A-Wish in 1989.

He has granted hundreds of wishes to children around the world and remains one of the most in-demand celebrity wish granters.

Jordan’s hope is that her decision to celebrate her birthday with a donation to Make-A-Wish will inspire others to help make wishes come true for children who are still waiting for their wishes to come true.

Jordan was named a Senior Wish Ambassador for Make-A-Wish in 2008 for what the organization called the “life-changing impacts he has had on Wish children and their families.”

“I can’t think of a better birthday gift than to see others join me in supporting Make-A-Wish so that every child can experience the magic of making their wish come true,” she said.

Jordan has been back in the public eye this month after LeBron James’ record point total reignited the NBA’s GOAT debate.

MJ is still widely considered the best to ever step foot on a basketball court, having won six championships during his illustrious career.

Since retiring in 2003, he has moved into ownership and remains in charge of the Hornets, taking over in June 2006.
