Abbie DeLoach Foundation

About

The Abbie DeLoach Foundation (ADF) is named for Savannah, Georgia, native Abbie DeLoach, one of five Georgia Southern University nursing students tragically killed in a tractor-trailer collision on April 22, 2015.   Abbie was dedicated to serving others as a student athlete, a prospective nurse and a person of faith. The foundation’s mission is to continue Abbie’s legacy of selfless service to others, generosity, academic and athletic achievement, and compassion for all. As of 2026 the foundation has proudly awarded over 185 scholarships to student-athletes, nursing, kinesiology and physician assistant students, community and student service programs and helped fund global missions in three continents. The Abbie DeLoach Foundation continues Abbie's good works, honoring her legacy.
