The Jordan McNair Foundation will continue providing awareness on heat-related illness and student-athlete safety when it holds its second health-and-wellness clinic Saturday.

The clinic, which will take place at McDonogh School from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., was introduced by the McNair Foundation in 2019 to honor the legacy of Jordan McNair, an offensive lineman at Maryland who died from heat-related complications in 2018 after a football workout.

The McNair Foundation hopes the clinic will educate athletes, parents and coaches on the importance of nutrition and hydration while teaching the proper ways to handle heat-related illnesses.
