Sabrina HoSang Jordan Scholarship

Sabrina HoSang Jordan is the CEO of Caribbean Food Delights and a WCFR Advisory Council Member. She has been a longtime supporter of WCFR’s mission “to prevent deaths worldwide through education and training”.

“Having been to Haiti and seeing first hand the great need for aid, I could not say no when Worldwide Community First Responder, Inc. asked me to donate a $1000 scholarship to a student there in my name. Additionally, I told them that I would like to match their donation of $2,000, to add two local scholarships valued at $500 each to Rockland community students as well,” she said. “My family and I always believe in empowering the youth by educating them and giving them the tools to succeed in life. This was no exception.”

“Every year, millions of students are able to attend college thanks to the generosity of individuals like Sabrina HoSang Jordan and her family who are willing to help fund their education. WCFR is very grateful for her continued support of our mission. Her scholarship will make a tangible difference in students’ life and expand access to higher education in healthcare” said Dr. Jacqueline Cassagnol, PhD, MSN, RN, PMC, Founder & President of Worldwide Community First Responder, Inc.
