Michael B. Jordan Throws 3rd Annual MBJAM For Lupus LA

*Saturday, July 27 was a hot day in LA but that didn’t stop Michael B. Jordan, Nick Cannon, and Toni Braxton from hitting the orange carpet at Dave & Buster’s Hollywood to support Jordan’s 3rd annual MBJAM.

“When we moved to LA as a family and needed resources to help her (Mother Donna Jordan), Lupus LA was the first place we turned. They’ve been awesome to us, so we wanted to give back in a meaningful way. That’s when MBJAM was born.” Jordan explains to the crowd regarding his mother’s battle with Lupus since he was a youngster.

Nick Cannon shared his own story with the crowd giving thanks to Toni Braxton, a known ambassador of Lupus LA. They both joined Jordan in presenting the inaugural Jordan Family Kindred Hearts Award to Lupus survivor Ashley Ramirez and her family in front of 250 Lupus Warriors and their families.

The charity event is very different from most galas as it’s meant to blend the fun of games and socializing while bringing awareness and funds to Lupus, which is an autoimmune disease affecting more than 60,000 people in Los Angeles County and nearly 1 million people across the country.

It definitely brought lighthearted energy with food, ice cream, cupcakes, game cards, and an open bar. Celebrities including Jamie Foxx, Storm Reid, Lilly Singh, Omari Hardwick, Kyrie Irving, Niles Fitch, and 2020 Olympics gymnast hopeful Laurie Hernandez poured in to show their support. The “Black Panther” star and Nick Cannon also showed their balling skills by playing a game of hoops.
