Michael Jordan donates $1 million to hurricane relief in the Bahamas. Also donation links [View all]

The Bahamas were ravaged by Hurricane Dorian, but recovery efforts are getting a boost thanks to an NBA legend's huge donation.

Former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan announced on Tuesday he will donate a whopping $1 million to relief efforts in the Bahamas.

"I am devastated to see the destruction that Hurricane Dorian has brought to the Bahamas, where I own property and visit frequently," Jordan said in a statement, shared on Twitter by his spokeswoman and manager, Estee Portnoy. "My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering and those who have lost loved ones."

Jordan said he will continue to monitor the situation in the Bahamas and will choose non-profits where his funds will have the most impact.
