Making a Difference On & Off the Field
The Wally Kelly Foundation
Our Mission
The Wally Kelly Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built on passion and legacy, with a desire to provide young athletes and communities with a multitude of opportunities to succeed, both on and off the field.
We believe in empowering our future generations and are heavily committed to establishing a platform that promotes leadership, community, and education while leveraging sports as a catalyst for change.
The Future Starts Now
Every child deserves an equal opportunity to achieve greatness. Many go without the resources, education, or support to do so. Our diligent efforts focus on implementing change in our communities so that all of our youth can be on the same playing field.
