<p>#Roommates #MichaelJordan is making sure he leaves a legacy far beyond the basketball court. Between his business and philanthropic efforts, Michael is making news again for his latest donation to a children’s nonprofit organization.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>According to #TheJournal, Michael has gifted the Portland based nonprofit called Friends of the Children with a multi-million dollar donation to help them reach their fundraising goal.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>While we don’t know the exact number of his donation the CEO of the nonprofit said: “It’s over the finish line for an aggressive fundraising campaign: raising $25 million in less than three years.&#8221;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>When speaking about the nonprofit, Michael said: “What stood out to me about Friends of the Children was that they employ and train their mentors and that they commit to every child for 12-and-a-half years,&#8221; Jordan said in a release. He continued, ”That dedication is important to me. My mentors believed in me and taught me the power of perseverance. I want youth in Friends of the Children to see that they have that same potential.&#8221;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Friends of the Children CEO, Terri Sorensen says the organization is committed to breaking “the cycle of generational poverty.&#8221; He also adds: There are so many communities across the country that we want to serve. With Michael&#8217;s investment, we can now expand more quickly to 25 cities.”</p>
