Michael Jordan donates $10M to Highland Park shooting survivors
Basketball legend and Chicago Bulls icon Michael Jordan donates $10 million to support the Highland Park community and victims of the Independence Day parade shooting.
Jordan's donation will be used to aid victims' families and support local organizations working to address gun violence in Highland Park.
Basketball legend Michael Jordan has stepped forward with a generous $10 million donation to the Highland Park community in the wake of the tragic Independence Day parade shooting.
Jordan's donation will be used to support families of the victims and fund local organizations working to address gun violence.
Jordan, a longtime Chicago resident, expressed his sympathy and solidarity with the Highland Park community following the shooting, which killed seven people and injured dozens more.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Jordan said, "I am deeply saddened by the senseless violence that has occurred in Highland Park. My heart goes out to the victims and their families."
Jordan's donation is the latest in a series of high-profile contributions from the NBA community in response to mass shootings. Earlier this year, the NBA pledged $10 million to Everytown for Gun Safety, a national nonprofit organization working to end gun violence.
The Highland Park shooting has reignited the debate over gun control in the United States. Jordan's donation and the NBA's commitment to gun safety advocacy underscore the growing demand for action to address the nation's gun violence epidemic.
