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.

“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.”
— Thomas A. Abraham
