“Two hundred fifty years ago, our Founders declared a truth that would shape a nation: our rights don’t come from kings or governments — they come from our Creator. That conviction, written into the Declaration of Independence, became the foundation of the American experiment — that liberty is a gift from God, not a permission granted by any earthly power.
That same conviction carried a young nation through revolution, through hardship, and through two and a half centuries of change, always pointing back to something greater than ourselves.
This Independence Day, as we mark 250 years of freedom, let’s give thanks for the faith and providence that have guided this nation from its first days to now. May we honor our Founders’ vision by holding fast to the values that built America — faith, liberty, and gratitude — and carry them forward for generations to come.
Happy 250th, America. God bless.”
— Thomas A. Abraham, Chairman of the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation

Our Chairman, Thomas A. Abraham, recently spoke at the Rotary Club of Coral Gables — sharing the story of the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, the legacy of founders Anthony and Genevieve Abraham, and why blind soccer exists: to spotlight people of determination who happen to have a disability.
Through his work with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation, Mr. Abraham has come to understand that we all face blinders — obstacles we must overcome to move forward. That belief is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re grateful to the Rotary Club of Coral Gables for their generosity. In connection with this presentation, the club made a donation to the Rotary International PolioPlus Program, covering the cost of vaccinating 20 children toward a polio-free world.

“Today, the FIFA World Cup 2026 begins.
One game, uniting the world across every border and language.
But the real measure of football isn’t who it celebrates — it’s who it refuses to leave behind.
In blind soccer, players can’t see the ball. They find it anyway — by sound, by trust, by instinct. They’ve taught me that to be unseen is never to be without worth.
So today I’m thinking of the overlooked: the unseen, the unheard, the unappreciated. This game has room for them. It has room for every human being on earth — and no one is beyond belonging.”

On June 4th, Chairman Thomas A. Abraham and Vice President Norma Jean Abraham joined an exclusive evening at the Gary Nader Art Centre for the private launch of Love Always Wins — the new FIFA World Cup 2026 song written and produced by Emilio Estefan.
The gathering brought together FIFA President Gianni Infantino, cultural leaders, and members of Miami’s arts and entertainment community for an evening that captured what makes this city unlike any other: the power to unite art, music, and sport under one roof.
With the FIFA World Cup 2026 just weeks away — hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico — Miami is ready. And love, as always, wins.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to leave you with the most important thing we know:
Healing is possible.
Not easy. Not linear. Not without setbacks or hard days or moments when it feels impossibly far away. But possible. Always possible.
People recover from depression. They rebuild after trauma. They find their way through grief, anxiety, addiction, and crisis—when they have the right support, the right community, and the belief that their life is worth fighting for.
At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, that belief is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the dignity of every human being. We believe in the power of community to heal. And we believe that a world where everyone has access to mental health support is not a dream—it is a goal worth working toward every single day.
Thank you for walking through this month with us.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Help is available. You are not alone.
Crisis support: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (USA)

The U.S. Surgeon General called it an epidemic. And the data backs it up.
More than half of American adults report measurable levels of loneliness. Chronic loneliness is as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And it is getting worse—not better.
We are more connected digitally than at any point in human history. And yet so many people feel profoundly, painfully alone.
At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, we believe that community is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Every initiative we support—from inclusive sports programs to education investments to humanitarian partnerships—is, at its core, about connection. About belonging. About making sure that no one feels like they do not matter.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, reach out to someone who might be lonely. It costs nothing. And it might mean everything.

Congratulations to The Education Fund on more than 40 impactful years of uplifting the students and educators of Miami-Dade!
Our Vice President, Norma Jean Abraham, was honored to present 2026 Public School Alumni Achievement Awards to individuals recognized for their enduring belief in public education and their commitment to our public schools.
The evening also showcased the creativity of Miami-Dade students through a one-of-a-kind art auction—featuring recycled-art pieces created by middle and high school students alongside their art teachers—plus luxury items up for bid. Adding to the celebration, the district’s culinary instructors and student teams served up an incredible spread.
The Anthony R. Abraham Foundation is proud to be among the sponsors of this event, and a longtime supporter of The Education Fund, helping ensure students across Miami-Dade have the opportunity to learn, create, and thrive.
