Michael Jordan is celebrating his 60th birthday on Friday by making a $10 million donation to Make-A-Wish.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Jordan, a six-time NBA champion with the Bulls, is celebrating his 60th birthday on Friday by making a $10 million donation to Make-A-Wish.

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

Jordan’s hope is that his decision to celebrate his birthday by donating to Make-A-Wish will inspire others to help fulfill the wishes of the kids still waiting for their wishes to come true.

“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.
