Derek Jeter Adds One of Michael Jordan’s Close Friends to Special Guest List For Upcoming Turn 2 Foundation Event

In his rookie season itself, Derek Jeter teamed up with his father, Dr. Sanderson Charles Jeter, a substance abuse counselor to create the Turn2Foundation, to primarily help children turn away from drugs and alcohol. From then, until today, the five-time World Champions Foundation has raised millions through various charity events, and most recently, the foundation announced the Derek Jeter Invitational, which would take place from May 11 to May 13.

The lineup for the event was already filled with superstars, and the former Yankees captain recently reached his Instagram stories announcing the addition of five more stars to increase the star power in the event.
