WHO WE ARE

Our Story

Allen Bailey Foundation, or “ABF” (formerly Allen Bailey Charities) is a nonprofit organization focused on enriching young athletes through a blend of academic and athletic development programs.

ABF was founded by Allen Bailey, native of Sapelo Island, Georgia and former defensive end for the NFL. Growing up in a small, tight-knit community, Allen Bailey learned early the values of hardwork, commitment and community. These are the values that helped him to achieve a successful NFL career and are also the values that founded this organization.

Since 2012, Allen Bailey Foundation has received widespread support from friends, community leaders and local families. Allen Bailey will continue to uplift his hometown, ensuring that families in McIntosh, Glynn, and Camden Counties don’t have to go without in times of need.
