Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation

Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation Concerned about the educational development of young males and are committed to bringing awareness to the asthma epidemic.

As Jerome Alston’s eldest daughter I felt it was my responsibility to continue his immense legacy thus establishing a charitable memorial foundation in his name. The Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation focuses on building up young African American males as Jerome did. In 2000, my dad established the Men of Distinction at Madison Alternative Center and later carried it over to Cradock Middle School.

In this program, he provided these young men many opportunities to improve themselves physically and mentally. They attended educational trips both in the local area and out of state. He also mentored them and used learning how to tie a tie to stress the importance of a professional appearance. I am excited about this opportunity to carry my dad’s legacy.

Asthma impacts people of all races, creeds, colors, religions, genders, social statuses, etc.
Asthma can be a primary or secondary health issue but still can have a major effect on the respiratory system.
Continue to become educated on asthma triggers and take this disease seriously.
We at the Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation continue to support asthma awareness and promote events to further that cause.

Happy 61st Heavenly Birthday to the inspiration behind the Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation!

He grew up in the Berkley area of Norfolk Virginia as the oldest of 4 children. Jerome was a 1982 graduate of Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk. After graduation Jerome and several of his hometown friends matriculated through Virginia State University.

He became a teacher at Madison Alternative Center and more recently Cradock Middle School, where his Science class was the only one to score 100% on their Standards of Learning (SOL) tests.

Jerome was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Spring ’89 Gamma Xi Chapter but is now in Omega Chapter. He became a Mason in 1991 and held the Degree of Master Mason. Jerome leaves to cherish his life his two daughters.

He was a science teacher and volleyball coach at Craddock Middle School, Portsmouth, VA.

Jerome’s unfortunate passing was on December 18, 2012 due to asthma related complications. We keep his legacy alive through the works of the foundation!
