College Education of Bridget & Abigail Adinolfi

Hi, my name is Kaeleigh Christie. I've set up this GoFundMe as a College Education Fund for Robert Adinolfi's daughters, Bridget and Abigail. On December 26, 2022, Rob passed away at home surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer. It was his wish to see his girls go to college.

I first met Robert Adinolfi as a law student in May 2017 when I spent a summer working as his law clerk. Fast forward to November 1, 2019, Rob officially swore me in as an attorney of the State of New Jersey and I've worked as his associate ever since. As a father of 2 young girls, Bridget and Abigail, it was very important to Rob that he had a female associate to mentor in a niche practice of law, wherein he had earned so much respect. In the words of Rob, he was all about "Girl Power!" If there was one thing he cared about more than anything in the world, it was his daughters and making sure they knew they had the power to do anything they set their minds to.

Anyone who knew Rob knew he was completely devoted to his family. He was the proudest girl dad and loved to share the accomplishments of his girls, which there are many – even at the young ages of 10 and 12. As star students and dedicated athletes, Rob was never short of stories of their successes. With Bridget being worldly, “wise beyond her years” as Rob would say, and Abby’s fearlessness and tenacity, he knew his girls are bound for great things!

A special memory of Rob that sticks out to me is when he came into the office after taking his girls to a Villanova women’s basketball game. It meant the world to him to show the girls around a college campus, and introduce them to strong female role models like those Division I athletes. He told me how he listened to each girl share their aspirations of what will happen when they go to college one day. Then, he very confidently said both of his girls are going to be “forces who change the world.” With his wife Katie’s blessing, I have set up this GoFundMe as a College Education Fund for Bridget and Abby to help Rob’s girls on their journey to do just that.
