Michael Jordan’s NASCAR racing team works to repair Helene’s havoc.
Last week, Hurricane Helene brought unprecedented devastation to much of the Southeast, a storm that made landfall with 140-mph winds in Florida and continued to bring destruction across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and other parts of the country. In the aftermath, the historic storm left a path of damage, including roughly 4.2 million power outages across five states. The flooding, blocked roads, fallen trees, and debris have severely disrupted daily life for millions, and North Carolina has seen some of the most extreme impacts.
In collaboration with his 23XI NASCAR racing team, Michael Jordan is contributing a $1 million donation towards the NC Disaster Relief Fund and the Second Harvest of Metrolina. Contributing $500,000 each, the money highlights Michael Jordan and 23XI Racing’s commitment to helping the state of North Carolina and the storm’s victims move forward and rebuild their communities.
Michael Jordan himself sent a message to Helene’s victims in the same social media post in which the donation was announced, saying: “Our hearts go out to everyone suffering from Hurricane Helene’s devastation. 23XI Racing and I are honored to support the NC Disaster Relief Fund and Second Harvest of Metrolina as they help rebuild lives, restore hope and ensure that those affected receive the assistance they need.” With a significant contribution to the relief efforts of this historic storm, Michael Jordan and 23XI Racing are helping rebuild in the aftermath of an unprecedented natural disaster.
