About:
Abigail Lonigro is the kind of leader who doesn’t wait to be asked—she sees a need and steps up. Whether she’s on the field as a dedicated athlete or in the community lending a hand, Abigail brings a powerful combination of compassion, initiative, and leadership to everything she does.
Off the field, Abigail has made a meaningful difference through a variety of community service efforts. She’s been involved in projects that support children, families, veterans, and those in need giving her time, energy, and creativity to help improve the lives of others. From organizing and participating in service projects to helping collect essential items and create care packages, she doesn’t just participate, she leads.
Abigail’s service includes hands-on work like assembling boxes for Operation Christmas Child, making fleece blankets for animal shelters, creating care kits for troops, and helping supply coloring books and stress-relief items for kids in need. She’s also supported local veterans, helped younger athletes improve their skills, and volunteered with her local library and historical society.
Her ability to connect with others, listen with empathy, and motivate those around her makes her a natural role model. Abigail leads by doing and inspires others to do the same. She understands that leadership isn’t just about being in front, it’s about lifting others up and creating lasting impact through everyday acts of service.
Abigail’s story is a reminder that true leadership begins with heart, and her commitment to serving her community shows just how powerful one person can be when they choose to make a difference.
