Another feather has been added to Magic Johnson’s crown. The basketball legacy of the five-time champion is well-known. Fans will get to see a different side of the athlete once he retires. This millionaire has done more than just build a huge fortune; he has multiplied his contributions to many different communities.
After “changing the way the world saw the diseаse,” former US president Barack Obama offered special praise to the Los Angeles Lakers star in September, as fans watched. Although Magic has done much to bring attention to the epidemic, what truly distinguishes him is his unwavering commitment to motivating and encouraging those around him. For that, he is greatly appreciated. The AEG Worldwide Foundation is the source this time.
The five-time NBA champion received the “Inspiration Award” last week at the Wоmen in Entertainment Luncheon, which celebrated its tenth anniversary. Carson, California was the site of the AEG ASCSC Foundation’s tenth annual luncheon on December 8. In recognition of wоmen’s empowerment and notable leaders, 300 individuals from different fields gathered for the event. Oprah Winfrey and Tina Perry were among the other famous people feted there.
The Lakers great has always been there for the other young players who are dreaming of making it big. The icon keeps inspiring athletes of this generation through his generous donations and thought-provoking remarks. In addition to highlighting up-and-coming basketball players, Magic has publicly expressed his adoration for tennis prodigy Naomi Osaka. In honor of Billie Jean’s legendary “Bаttle of the Sexes” which was released 50 years ago, Johnson also used his X earlier this year.
One of the most vocal advocates for wоmen’s equality is Magic Johnson.
In addition to philanthropic contributions to educational institutions, Johnson has been known to lavishly support female entrepreneurs and small enterprises.
A $100 million loan program benefiting minority and female-owned businesses was launched by Magic Johnson Enterprises’ CEO in collaboration with MBE Capital Partners. -19 stay-at-home orders affected these businesses particularly severely. Aiming to ease the financial burden on working-class wоmen, Johnson’s EquiTrust Life Insurance Company provided funding for these loans.
He was also instrumental in a recent fundraising campaign that brought in $3 million for DSU. The champion is still going strong, giving people a voice all around the globe. And I think the Inspiration Award would be fitting for him because of that.
