"Protecting Young Athletes: Together, We Can Save Lives"
Empowerment through education of this 100 percent preventable injury saves lives.

Empowerment through education of this 100 percent preventable injury saves lives.
We are fundraising to give a voice to this problem our foundation hopes to solve.
Every young athlete deserves to play and train safely, with parents, coaches, and communities equipped to protect their health. At The Jordan McNair Foundation, we are committed to turning awareness into action. Since 2018, our mission has been simple but powerful: Awareness, Education, and Prevention of heat-related injuries.
Heat-related injuries are 100% preventable with the right tools, training, and resources in place. Through our work, we’ve helped countless families, coaches, and athletes stay informed and prepared, reducing the risk of tragedies that no community should endure. But we can’t do this without your support.
What We’ve Accomplished Together
With your help, since we started this mission to save lives, we’ve:
- Conducted over 50 youth sports clinics to teach safety training practices.
- Held over 75 "Can My Child Play?" parent education sessions, empowering families to advocate for their young athletes.
- Trained thousands coaches across Maryland, Delaware,Georgia, Florida and Alabama with our X's and O's of Player Safety program, ensuring heat safety protocols are followed on every field.
- Launched our new KOBY (Keep On Believing in Yourself) curriculum, giving student-athletes the tools to advocate for their own safety and wellbeing.
This is only the beginning. Your generosity allows us to expand into new communities, train more coaches, educate more parents, and protect more student-athletes.
Why Your Support Matters
Your donation today directly funds lifesaving initiatives such as:
- Providing Cold Water Tubs to teams and organizations, a simple tool that can prevent heat-related deaths.
- Developing and delivering Emergency Action Plans so every coach and volunteer knows how to respond in an emergency.
