Michael Jordan to donate $2 Million off “The Last Dance” proceeds to Feeding America

Michael Jordan has continued his incredible charity work by donating $2 million off proceeds from his Netflix documentary series, The Last Dance, to Feeding America – a nationwide hunger-relief charity in America – to help families in need for this year’s Thanksgiving season.

The 10-part series that aired last springtime became ESPN’s most-watched documentary ever.

Jordan said: “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”.

According to Feeding America, millions of Americans have had to rely on food banks for help, as a result of a surge in unemployment levels.

Consequently, according to the nonprofit, up to 80% of America’s food banks have now assumed responsibility for more people than during last year’s holiday season.

Feeding America has described Jordan’s donation as “an incredible gift to be thankful for,” noting that, “every action makes a difference.”

The former Chicago Bulls star has said that his donation would target food banks in Chicago, as well as the Carolinas, including his native North Carolina.

ESPN’s 10-part Netflix documentary series “The Last Dance” detailed the twilight of Jordan’s NBA career with the Bulls.

Back in 2018, Jordan also made a $2 million donation to aid homes affected by Hurricane Florence in his hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina, which coincidentally also happened around the holiday season.

Having showed up in person to hand out Thanksgiving dinners and Jordan Brand shoes to local families in 2018, Jordan’s $100 million donation (according to NBA.com) earlier this year (to combat racism in the U.S.) further underlines what a humanitarian he is.
