Honouring Abbey
with Art & Kindness
Empowering the Next Generation of Artists
Abbey was a woman of grace, determination, and joy — the kind of person who made every moment feel extraordinary. From mountain hikes and Kits Beach sunsets to her unforgettable dinner parties, she embraced life fully and inspired those around her.
Her passion for the arts shone through from an early age, blossoming into a career in architecture and a life filled with creativity and kindness.
Abbey’s legacy lives on through her art and her wish to give aspiring artists the chance to follow their dreams.
About
Abbey’s Foundation was created in memory of Abigail Julia Maguire to celebrate her beautiful connections with art and kindness.
Our Mission
We provide annual scholarships to graduating students at Burlington Central High School who are pursuing further education in the arts.
These awards honour not only artistic talent, but also the kindness and creativity Abbey shared with everyone around her.
Abbey’s Legacy in Action
Abbey believed in the power of creativity and compassion.
Through our annual scholarships, we carry her spirit forward by supporting students who embody these same values. Each donation helps us open doors for the next generation of artists, dreamers, and changemakers.
Thanks to the generosity of our community and the Toronto Foundation, Abbey’s Foundation provides annual scholarships that encourage young people to explore their creativity and lead with kindness. Every contribution helps keep Abbey’s legacy alive.
“Just Start The Rest Will Follow”
