The MJ Haboc Foundation Incorporated was established to honor the life and legacy of Marianne Joy Evangelista Haboc, a bright and talented young girl whose life was tragically cut short on October 1, 2018. At just 10 years old, Marianne Joy was a dedicated student at St. Patrick’s RC Primary School, a devoted churchgoer, and a passionate gymnast of Rochdale Olympic Gymnastics Club who competed nationally, earning several medals including an overall championship.
Marianne Joy's vibrant spirit and determination left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. Her dedication to her studies, her leadership as a school officer, and her role as a church ambassador exemplified her commitment to excellence and community. She was known for her unwavering attendance at school, missing classes only when unwell, and for her aspirations to become a doctor to care for her parents and children in need, as reflected in her school writings.
The MJ Haboc Foundation is committed to perpetuating Marianne Joy's legacy by supporting the education and healthcare of underprivileged children. We strive to emulate her passion for learning, her love for sports, and her caring nature by fostering opportunities for children to thrive academically and personally.
Our foundation embodies Marianne Joy’s values of togetherness, leadership, and responsibility. Through various initiatives, we aim to provide scholarships, support local schools, and improve healthcare facilities, ensuring that her dream of a better future for all children lives on.
Marianne Joy’s story is one of inspiration and hope. By setting her as a role model, we hope to inspire future generations to pursue their dreams with the same fervor and dedication. Her memory continues to be a beacon of light, guiding our mission to create lasting, positive change in the communities we serve.
Marianne Joy’s legacy lives on through the MJ Haboc Foundation, transforming lives and embodying the principles she held dear: love for learning, dedication to community, and an unwavering spirit of giving and caring.
