Charlotte Hornets chairman Michael Jordan will donate $2 million to Hurricane Florence relief efforts, the team announced Tuesday.
Jordan will contribute $1 million each to the American Red Cross and the Foundation for the Carolina's Hurricane Florence Response Fund.
Last week, the Hornets announced that the team and NBA was partnering with several community organizations to provide relief to hurricane victims.
"It’s truly devastating for me to see the damage that Hurricane Florence is doing to my beloved home state of North Carolina and to the surrounding areas,” Jordan said Friday. “The recovery effort will be massive, and it will take a long time to repair the damage and for families to get back on their feet.
