The life and Legacy behind Bella Kind
Remembering Anabella Marie Giacobbe
Anabella Marie Giacobbe was a vibrant and compassionate young woman whose light continues to inspire those who knew her. A graduate of Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, Anabella excelled academically while pursuing her passion for volleyball, a sport she loved since the age of seven. She played competitively for Union Catholic High School, graduating in 2019, and later for Rutgers, leaving a legacy of dedication, teamwork, and resilience on and off the court.
Anabella’s kind heart and approachable nature were known to everyone who crossed her path. Whether working alongside her mother, Laura Giacobbe, at Best Realty, where her organizational skills and people-first approach shined, or spending time with her family, friends, and boyfriend, Bella’s warmth and generosity touched countless lives. She had a deep love for animals, children, her family, and, above all, volleyball.
The Bella Kind Foundation is proud to honor her legacy by instilling her values of kindness, leadership, and community in every life we touch. Anabella’s unforgettable light serves as our guiding inspiration, shaping programs that uplift youth, build future leaders, and create a ripple effect of kindness in the community. Through these efforts, we carry forward the beautiful spirit of Anabella Marie Giacobbe, ensuring that her impact will continue to be felt for generations.

Scholarship & Education
The “Be Kind Scholarship” honors Bella’s legacy of kindness and commitment to education by awarding four Rahway High School seniors who embody these values. Each recipient will receive between $1,000 – $5,000 to assist with their college or higher education journey. This scholarship reflects Bella’s belief that even small acts of kindness can make a lasting impact. Through these awards, we continue her mission of spreading kindness and helping students pursue their educational dreams.
Sponsorship & Commitment
Each year, we proudly sponsor and support various organizations and initiatives that align with our core values. One cause particularly close to our hearts is Relay for Life, as it champions cancer research and awareness. This is especially meaningful to us, as Bella’s grandmother is bravely battling breast cancer. By supporting Relay for Life, we honor her journey and contribute to the vital work of finding a cure, while raising awareness for all those affected by cancer.
