Today would have been Jovita Moore’s 58th birthday. Her scholarship helps keep her memory alive

ATLANTA — Each and every day, the WSB-TV family remembers the life and legacy of Channel 2 anchor Jovita Moore.

Saturday, Oct. 4 marks a special day in the WSB-TV newsroom; it would have been our beloved colleague and friend’s 58th birthday.

Moore died on Oct. 28, 2021, just seven months after she was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer.

The Jovita Moore scholarship isn’t the only way to keep her memory alive. Earlier this year, WSB-TV walked in memory of Jovita at the National Brain Tumor Society’s second annual GA Brain Tumor Walk & Race.

The event raised over $160,000 for funds to support the needs of brain tumor patients and their families.

You can also donate to Our House Atlanta, an organization that was close to Jovita’s heart throughout her time in Atlanta.
