"Criteria exemplifying Abbie's compassion, commitment to the community and competitive spirit are utilized each year when selecting recipients," reads a statement from the Abbie DeLoach Foundation.

Abbie DeLoach Foundation officers include her father and president, Jimmy DeLoach, her sister and vice president Anna DeLoach and her uncle and Savannah Mayor Eddie DeLoach, who serves as treasurer.
