(AY) FOUNDATION
In Loving Memory Of Malcolm “Ambitious” Bagley
The more in-depth meaning behind AY foundation is to honor his memory:
Malcolm AMBITIOUS Bagley was a pillar in the Orange community but his respect and outreach branched to other cities in New Jersey. Malcolm was a duel athlete playing both basketball and football for the Orange High Tornadoes. He was well respected amongst his peers on and off the field, earning his nickname at a young age “Ambitious”. After returning home from a Championship year at Dean College in Massachusetts, his life was taken at 19.

AMBITIOUS (adj.) - a strong desire and determination to succeed.
I started Ambitious Youth Foundation because from my experience most inner-city kids are not able to reach their true potential because of the limited or lack of resources around them. It can be easy to fault the household or environment in which a child was born into, however, there is a great need in many communities for a safe haven that allows kids to develop in other ways they didn’t imagine was possible. AY foundation is not just for their development but to also build passionate obtainable goals that they can take pride in. This program will be adding an extra tool to their toolbox, leaving them well equipped for the many curves life may throw at them.
