The Paul Jordan Memorial Recovery Fund honors the life, compassion and unwavering commitment of Paul Jordan, whose own recovery journey inspired him to dedicate himself to helping others find hope, healing and purpose. Paul found freedom from alcohol use disorder and used his lived experience to support others on their recovery journeys. He believed deeply in the power of peer support and in the transformative impact that one person can have on another simply by showing up, listening and offering encouragement.

Those who knew Paul remember his generosity, authenticity and desire to give back. Recovery was not simply something he achieved; it became a calling. He was especially inspired by Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) training and found great meaning in learning how to support others through shared experience. His hope was to continue that work by helping individuals overcome challenges, navigate recovery and discover the same sense of freedom and possibility that had changed his own life.

Through the Paul Jordan Memorial Recovery Fund, memorial gifts will directly support individuals in recovery, ensuring that Paul's legacy continues through opportunities that help others build healthy, meaningful lives. Donations may provide CPRS training scholarships, support recovery-related education and certification and help address barriers that people in early recovery often face as they work toward stability, wellness and long-term success.

Every contribution to the fund is an investment in the values Paul embodied: hope, service, compassion and the belief that recovery is possible. By supporting others who are pursuing recovery and seeking to help their peers, donors will carry forward Paul's vision of a community where people are empowered to heal, grow and help others do the same.

Memorial donations to this fund can be made online through Zeffy, which does not charge processing fees, ensuring that 100% of your donation supports recovery.
