Gokey this week announced -- along with Dream Center founder Matthew Barnett -- the naming of the Dream Center's Youth Outreach Center after his wife Sophia, who died of complications from surgery for a congenital heart condition shortly before he auditioned for "Idol."
Gokey is being recognized for his commitment to the work of the inner-city relief organization through Sophia's Heart, a foundation he recently created in his wife's memory, the center said in a release.
