（外刊原创·CBS News）Considered by many as the GOAT — or greatest of all time — of basketball， Michael Jordan has set his fair share of records on the court， but he just set another major record by donating a surprising $10 million to Make-A-Wish.The donation， given just ahead of his 60th birthday， is the largest donation the organization has ever received from an individual in its 43-year history.
Jordan hopes his donation will inspire others to celebrate his birthday on 17 February by donating to Make-A-Wish， which brings surprises， or “wishes”， to children diagnosed with critical diseases.Many children wish to meet celebrities， like Jordan， or to have experiences like going to Disney World.
Jordan， who quickly rose to fame after joining the Chicago Bulls in 1984， granted his first wish in 1989 and has since granted hundreds more.He is still one of the most requested celebrities by wish recipients， according to the organization.
“It’s been an honor to partner with Make-A-Wish and help bring a smile and happiness to so many kids，” Jordan said.“Witnessing their strength and faith during such a tough time in their lives has truly been an inspiration.I can’t think of a better birthday gift than seeing others join me in supporting Make-A-Wish so that every child can experience the magic of having their wish come true.”
Make-A-Wish will use Jordan’s donation to make future wishes.Jordan’s philanthropy （慈善行为） often makes headlines as he donates to several charities a year.While a $10 million donation and hundreds of wishes granted makes him one of Make-A-Wish’s greatest benefactors， Jordan does not hold the organization’s record.That’s John Cena， the wrestling star and actor who， starting in 2002， has granted a total of 650 wishes and received recognition from Guinness World Records.No one else has granted more than 400 wishes.
