Even with the entry of a new generation of basketball players, the name Michael “His Airness” Jordan remains as the game’s greatest of all time. His feats in basketball are unparalleled: he won six NBA championships when he played with the Chicago Bulls during the 1990s; he is a six-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) awardee; he is among the best in scoring; and he is a five-time league MVP. 

But Jordan’s eyes are not just fast on the ball but also to helping the less fortunate.

For several years, Michael Jordan has annually hosted an invitational celebrity golf tournament to raise funds for charity. Last April, 2011, the Annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational opened for the first time in Las Vegas. The glitter of Jordan and his annual four-day charity tournament have attracted the world’s greatest sports and entertainment stars for a worthy cause.

 

Jordan’s charity work is for the benefit of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, The James R. Jordan Foundation, Cats Care and the Nevada Cancer Institute. With all his charitable tasks, Jordan’s legend extends way beyond the sports arena.
