It is with great excitement that we share some important updates as the Abbie DeLoach Foundation (ADF) continues to grow and evolve since its inception in 2016. We are pleased to announce that, in response to our expanded reach and the increasing impact of our work, we have added a key position to the ADF team: Director of the Foundation.
New Addition to the ADF Team
As part of this exciting growth, we are thrilled to welcome Kristen Tillman as our new Director of the Foundation. Kristen brings a wealth of experience in communications, public relations, graphic design, and marketing to the team. Her expertise will be invaluable as we work to strengthen existing partnerships and cultivate new opportunities that will advance our mission. With her strategic vision and creative talents, Kristen will play a key role in helping ADF continue its meaningful work in the community.

Maria DeLoach’s Continued Leadership
We are also happy to share that Maria DeLoach will remain in her vital role as the Foundation’s Administrator. Maria has been an integral part of our team, and her ongoing leadership will focus on pursuing new growth opportunities, which will include forging partnerships with new academic institutions and expanding our sponsorship base, always working to honor Abbie’s legacy. We are so grateful to have Maria’s steady leadership as we continue to grow.
Honoring Abbie’s Legacy and Good Works
Since our founding in 2016, the Abbie DeLoach Foundation has remained committed to honoring Abbie’s spirit through scholarships, global outreach programs, and community service. Through our academic partnerships with UGA, GSU, SSU, SCPS and SCCPSS as well as organizations like Nurses for the Nations, Compassion Christian Church’s Outreach Programs, and initiatives such as Abbie’s Home in India, we can extend Abbie’s legacy to communities both locally and around the world. Your continued support allows us to touch lives, provide hope, and carry forward Abbie’s passion for service, academic excellence, and giving back.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to expand, we are incredibly excited about the future of ADF and the opportunities ahead. We are deeply grateful for each of you—our community of supporters, volunteers, partners, and donors—who make this all possible. Together, we are ensuring that Abbie’s legacy will live on, inspiring future generations to live with purpose, compassion, and a commitment to service.
We look forward to all that we will accomplish in the coming year, and we can’t wait to share more exciting news and updates with you as we continue to grow.
Thank you for your continued support, and for joining us in honoring Abbie’s life and legacy.
