PHILANTHROPY x SOCIAL MEDIA

Abby's entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic have helped her build social media platforms with more than 55,000 followers, proudly cultivating 1,500,000 likes while engaging millions more... and counting! But for Abby, social media is more than fan counts. It’s about utilizing the platform to spread happiness and philanthropy.

At the height of COVID, Abby was looking to impact the world around her in a positive way. She used her TikTok fame and knowledge of the platform to help Sloane, a 3-year-old girl with cancer, search for a bone marrow donor. Together with #SloaneStrong, Abby built awareness. As of date, almost $100,000 has been raised, and 3,500 swabs have been taken, resulting in 24 matches and two transplants.

In addition, following the 2022 tragic Fourth of July mass shooting next to her hometown, in Highland Park, Illinois, Abby co-created Hats4HP, aiming to spread awareness of gun violence and help victims of the shooting. Abby used her social media platforms to spread the Hats4HP message, and she custom-created hats to raise money, donating 100% of the proceeds to gun violence victims and their families, as well as gun control advocacy groups.

HOLOCAUST VIOLIN RESTORATION PROJECT

As part of a historic musical instrument restoration project, Abby had the opportunity to perform with her Deerfield High School Orchestra playing a restored violin previously used by victims and survivors of the Holocaust.

Over two decades, 70-plus violins have been carefully restored by the Violins of Hope project as a way of keeping history alive. Each instrument holds a uniquely inspirational story of hope, resilience and resistance.

“It was definitely really special for me because my great-grandparents are Holocaust survivors. It was definitely an emotional experience. As I was playing, I definitely thought about all the people that came before me.”
