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

Monday carries an extra meaning for our newsroom as it marks three years since the loss of our beloved colleague and friend.

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

Jovita had been with Channel 2 Action News since 1998. We are on a mission to make sure her legacy is never forgotten.

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 $255,413 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.
