One year after being drafted into the league, the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation was formed, inspired by his mother, Carol, who passed away from breast cancer in 2003, according to its website. She was committed to helping others who were battling breast cancer, and her work is being continued through the foundation, with resources, education, and support being provided to organizations upholding this mission.

Additionally, the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation’s second pillar focuses on youth empowerment by working to improve literacy rates and expand children’s access to technology in K-12 education. In October 2024, Fitzgerald hosted a field trip to the Phoenix Raceway for Luke Elementary students, where they designed their own cars, explored how friction affects speed, and experienced a high-tech NASCAR simulator, according to AZFamily.

From there, I became obsessed,” he expressed, according to Morgan Stanly.

Championing Health & Saving Lives

An excerpt from Renowned 

Surgeon Dr. Maseray S. Kamara Is Championing Health Equity in The U.S.

by Gee NY 

Despite Black Americans making up 13% of the U.S. population, only 5.4% of physicians are Black, and of those, only 2.8% are Black women, according to a 2021 report in The Lancet.

Dr. Maseray S. Kamara, MD, is one of the few Black women in the field of colon and rectal surgery, specializing in robotic surgery and anorectal disease.

~~~~~

Dr. Kamara’s path to medicine was driven by more than just a desire to treat disease—it was about empowering patients through knowledge and advocacy.

“I realized that healthcare wasn’t just about treating disease—it was about empowering patients with knowledge, advocating for better health outcomes, and making a tangible difference in people’s lives,” Dr. Kamara told Girl Talk HQ.

Her work is particularly significant as Black Americans face disproportionately higher rates of colorectal cancer, with Black men and women 20% more likely to be diagnosed and 40% more likely to die from the disease than other racial groups, according to the American Cancer Society. Dr. Kamara’s presence in the field is not just about representation—it’s about saving lives.

Michael Jordan Steps Up Big For Health Care For Uninsured

An excerpt from Good.is - 

NBA legend Michael Jordan opens up fourth North Carolina health clinic for the uninsured

Michael Jordan is quietly becoming the GOAT of healthcare access.

After successfully building three other clinics, as mentioned on Upworthy and Scoop Upworthy, NBA all-star Michael Jordan teamed up once again with Novant Health to build a fourth clinic for the uninsured in North Carolina. The health clinic is the second one built in Wilmington and opened on February 19, 2025.

Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player to compete in the National Basketball Association. With a career at the top spanning from 1984 through 2003, Jordan became a six-time NBA champion and four-time gold medalist in the Olympics. Jordan would be inducted in the NBA Hall of Fame in 2009.

This creation of this health clinic was based on the benefits shown from the previous clinics in the state. After the success of the first clinic, Jordan gifted $10 million to Novant Health to expand and create others. Each location was chosen based on the barriers the community was facing in obtaining health care, including transportation. Many patients had their first primary care visit with a physician thanks to Jordan’s clinics providing these services for people who cannot afford health insurance.

This new clinic will have a standard primary care team of physicians, but also a community health worker to assist the patients and grant access to community resources. The 7,3000-square-foot clinic and its 12 patient rooms will be open on weekdays.
