Tracy R. Morris. 1967-2022
I first want to thank you all for the love and support you’ve sent to myself our family and the whole Blue Heart team. Tracy’s memorial really encapsulated the impact that He made in the community and in the lives of our amazing young men.
And The Blue Heart Foundation will continue to change lives! I am determined to take up the cause to keep Tracy’s dream alive!
With that said, I want to introduce you to our team that will carry the torch:
Please help me welcome Mathew Gordon as Blue Hearts new President/CEO!
Mathew was one of the few men that Tracy trusted and respected in the community. He was a great friend and a brother to Tracy.
Mathew has a wealth of experience working in & for disadvantaged communities throughout San Diego County. His experience includes having served in the Fourth Council District under the first Black Female ever elected to the San Diego City Council, Council President Myrtle Cole as a community advisor.
As a former at-risk youth having experienced many challenges such as poverty & homelessness, Mathew devotes his time volunteering and mentoring with non-profit organizations that cater to under-served youth such as Reality Changers, National Conflict Resolution Center and Paving Great Futures.
This is just a snippet of his accomplishments and qualifications! I feel confident that we are in good hands! I’m excited to be working with him as we manifest the vision.
Our Blue Heart veterans are also on board to continue the mission:
Stephanie Garcia- Vice President of Development
Lan Jefferson- Vice President of Operations
Tammy Blevins- Director of Programs and Events

My hope is that you continue to run with us as we take Tracy’s vision to the next level.
Together we rise!
