In memory of Russell
On July 6, 2002, Jordon’s only brother Russell Ferber tragically died in a car accident at the age of 21, just as he was about to graduate with a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, NY.
A year later, The Russell Ferber Foundation was founded to provide a living legacy – funding programs that assist young people who lack the financial resources to successfully follow a path that parallels aspects of Russell’s too short life.
The Annual Benefit Show
Every year Jordon produces a comedy benefit show for the foundation — a night of stand-up where the whole room is in on the reason.
CIA Scholarships
Proceeds go directly to scholarships at the Culinary Institute of America, supporting students building a life in kitchens.
