Honoring Abby’s Life Through Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Awareness
About The ARF Fund
The Abby Rose Fleming (ARF) Fund was founded by Noah Fleming, Cooper Kasimov, and Michael Drendel in loving memory of Abby Rose Fleming, who tragically lost her life to suicide in September 2023.
Created to honor Abby’s life and bring purpose out of profound loss, the ARF Fund is dedicated to raising awareness about suicide prevention and mental health, particularly among youth. Suicide remains a leading cause of death for young people in the U.S., highlighting the critical need for prevention and support.
The fund’s mission is to spark meaningful conversations around mental health and generate financial support for the Katie Blessing Center, an organization that works directly in suicide prevention. All money raised by the ARF Fund goes to the Katie Blessing Center, a pediatric mental healthcare center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Our Mission
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, The ARF Fund is rooted in compassion and driven by the shared belief that through awareness and action, lives can be saved. We are actively expanding our reach through future events to deepen our impact.
