OXFORD, Miss. -- A charity founded by former Mississippi football coach Hugh Freeze is taking a break from fundraising and will reconsider its future after the coach resigned amid what the school called a "pattern of personal misconduct."
The Freeze Foundation's stated mission is to "express God's love by improving the quality of life for orphans and needy children."
Executive director Alice Blackmon told USA Today that the charity will honor its financial pledges. She said it has paused its fundraising efforts and will reassess its future at the end of the year.
