Michael Jordan is ringing in his 60th birthday by making some people's wishes come true. The retired basketballer played fairy godfather at the Make-A-Wish foundation by donating a whopping $10 million - the highest-ever cash gift for the foundation in 43 years.
The sporting legend kept up a tradition he launched in 1989 in line with his vision of helping children worldwide achieve their dreams. Jordan's philanthropic acts prompted the foundation to name him Ambassador of Make-A-Wish in 2008.
