FAISAL BADANI LUCKY DUCKLINGS IMPACT INITIATIVE

Faisal was a 2nd generation Lucky Duck. Faisal embodied the spirit of sharing your luck. And like a lot of things he did, Faisal brought his friends along for the ride. “Be like Faisal” was a common mantra.

Faisal had a love for baseball, luxury cars and watches, the Villanova Wildcats, and the Lucky Duck Foundation, which was his favorite nonprofit organization. He learned about the Lucky Duck Foundation through his father Abe and mother Zarina, who are a longtime and generous supporters.

To honor and perpetuate Faisal’s legacy, we created the “Faisal Badani Lucky Ducklings Impact Initiative,” where beginning in 2022 and every year thereafter, the Lucky Duck Foundation will set aside at least $25,000 to fund a difference-making program or programs, which will be selected in part by the Lucky Ducklings.
