The money donated by Michael Jordan will go towards helping Charlotte at-risk communities. The donation will fund two Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Clinics, which are projected to open in 2020.
Jordan's spokesperson Estee Portnoy
told The Associated Press Monday that he 'feels so great about being
able to impact the Charlotte community and help people who really
deserve it. Michael and Novant are really excited about this project.'
Per Jordan's spokesperson, the NBA legend was
motivated to make the record donation after reviewing a study that found
poor children in Charlotte have the worst odds of any of the top 50
cities in the United States to lift themselves out of poverty.
