Some commitments span generations. The Anthony R. Abraham Foundation’s connection to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is one of them. It began with our founder, Anthony R. Abraham—one of the last living founding members of St. Jude—and it continues today, guided by the same belief that no child should suffer alone, and no family should face a devastating diagnosis without hope and support.
St. Jude does not bill families for treatment, travel, housing, or food—because they believe that the only thing families should have to worry about is helping their child heal.
That mission deserves to live on. And at the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, we are honored to be part of it. “Our connection to St. Jude is deeply rooted in a shared commitment to hope and healing—a legacy that began with my father and continues to guide our mission today.” — Thomas A. Abraham, Chairman, Anthony R. Abraham Foundation

Friendship is one of the most underrated forces for good in the world. The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is one of the most powerful reminders of that truth—bringing together people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities to walk, connect, and celebrate the friendships that change lives.
The Anthony R. Abraham Foundation has long supported Best Buddies and the extraordinary mission of its founder, Anthony Shriver. What began as a simple idea—that everyone deserves a friend—has grown into a global movement of inclusion, dignity, and belonging.
If you haven’t registered for a walk near you, there is still time. Find your walk at bestbuddiesfriendshipwalk.org and join a community that believes every person, regardless of ability, deserves to be seen, included, and celebrated.

What does it look like when a child walks into a room designed to make them curious? It looks like discovery. It looks like confidence. It looks like a future being built—one idea at a time. The Anthony R. Abraham Foundation has been proud to serve as a sponsor for Innovation Spaces at public schools—from Jerry Thomas Elementary to George Washington Carver Middle School to Hollywood Central Preparatory K–8.
Each space is more than a room. It is a statement: that every child, in every community, deserves access to the tools, the technology, and the teachers that can help them reach their full potential. Because when we invest in a child’s curiosity today, we are investing in the solutions of tomorrow.

Congratulations to our Chairman, Thomas A. Abraham, who ran this year’s Sanlam Cape Town Marathon — now confirmed as Africa’s first-ever Abbott World Marathon Major, joining Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago and New York.
Thomas ran on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the United States Paralympic blind soccer team — two causes close to the Foundation’s heart. We’re proud he was there for such a milestone in the sport.

Norma Jean Abraham, Vice President of the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, spent the day at Carrollton School with the Honeyshine girls, making friendship bracelets and necklaces together.
The joy in the room was contagious as the girls created, connected, and celebrated friendship. It was a beautiful day — one built on community and the simple joy of creating together.

Earlier this year, our Chairman Thomas A. Abraham joined Shake-A-Leg Miami to welcome Their Majesties King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands during their working visit to Miami.
Their Majesties toured the facility, met members of the community, and experienced firsthand the power of inclusive, adaptive sport. For decades, Shake-A-Leg has opened the water — and real opportunity — to people of all abilities, and our Foundation has been proud to support that mission for many years.
