Support Cedrick Wilson’s Recovery After Surviving a Tragic Shooting

Cedrick Wilson is a loving father, a respected defensive football coach and trainer, and a well-known face in the Nashville, TN community. Known for his calm presence, hardworking spirit, and deep care for others, Cedrick has made a lasting impact on countless lives—both on and off the field. He is also a proud alumnus of Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School, where his journey of leadership and service first began.

Tragically, Cedrick was recently involved in the shooting that took place at the Nashville Rescue Mission. In a senseless act of violence, someone opened fire on him, and Cedrick sustained 11 gunshot wounds. By the grace of God, he survived—but the journey ahead will be long, painful, and full of challenges.

While his family and friends are beyond grateful that Cedrick is still with us, he now faces a long road to recovery that includes multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and extended time away from work.

We’re asking our community to rally around Cedrick the same way he’s always shown up for others. Donations will go directly toward his medical expenses, daily living costs, while he heals.

Please consider giving what you can, sharing this campaign, and keeping Cedrick and his family in your prayers.

Let’s stand with Cedrick and show him the same love and support he’s always given to others.
