BALTIMORE — A celebration of life and legacy Saturday night.
The Jordan Alexander Cofield Foundation Gala was held to honor a young man lost way too soon.
Jordon Cofieldwas the starting wide receiver for Morgan State football. He was an NFL prospect, who died in August 2020, at just 20 years old, in a motorcycle accident.
His mother started the foundation in his name, awarding scholarships to other student-athletes to attend HBCUs in Maryland. Six student-athletes will get scholarships because of the money raised.
"In my journey of grieving the loss of Jordan, I knew I didn't want his legacy and his memory to be forgotten. Jordan was scholastic, but he was also athletic, and so now we're awarding other students who are athletes as well scholarships and sending them to finish what Jordan was unable to finish," said Dr. Chere M. Goode, founder, and president, Jordan Alexander Cofield Foundation, Inc.
Not only was Jordan a stand-out athlete, but he was also on Dean's list at Morgan State.
This was the second annual gala. You can click here to learn more.
