Jordan, who grew up in Wilmington, told the Associated Press, “I know all of those places: Wilmington, Fayetteville, Myrtle Beach, New Bern, and Wallace, which is where my father is from. So quite naturally it hits home, and I felt like I had to act in a sense that this is my home.”

In addition to Jordan’s donation, the Charlotte Hornets are contributing to relief efforts.Their merchandising partner, Fanatics, has designed a Carolina Strong T-Shirt. All net proceeds will be donated to the Foundation For The Carolinas’ Hurricane Florence Response Fund.

When you purchase this #CarolinaStrong T-shirt, 100% of the net proceeds will go to the Foundation For The Carolinas' Hurricane Florence Response Fund.
