Our Mission
The mission of the Annabelle Forever Young Foundation is to provide support for students and student athletes pursuing their dreams through continued education. By awarding an annual scholarship, the foundation eases some of the financial burden for its recipients and allows them to honor Annie Young while stepping into the next phase of life and enlightenment.
The foundation believes that the love, support, friendship, companionship and motivation that Annabelle received while being part of a team is something that can make a difference in the lives of other kids and young adults. Therefore, the foundation also supports community organizations and groups by donating funds for team uniforms, equipment and other necessities that were important to Annie’s life and her development.
Scholarships
In Annie's memory, the Annabelle Forever Young Foundation will be awarding an annual, merit-based scholarship of $5,000.00 to the student(s) who, through academics, athletics and/or volunteerism, best exemplifies the values by which Annie Young lived her life. The Foundation is a representation of the impact Annie had on her friends, family, and the entire Berkeley Heights community.
The scholarship is open to all graduating seniors of Governor Livingston High School who will be enrolling in a post-secondary institution to defray the costs of the student’s education (i.e. college, community college, trade or vocational school).
To be considered for the Annabelle Forever Young Foundation Scholarship, each applicant is asked to submit an essay, of no more than 500 words, discussing an experience, attribute or accomplishment which reflects and best embodies the zest for life with which Annie lived.
