When Kelly was 10, her wish to visit Hawaii was granted after a challenging cancer diagnosis. She swam with dolphins, explored the islands, and created memories that still bring her joy 25 years later. Motivated to give back, Kelly joined Chi Omega, a women's fraternal organization that has long-supported Make-A-Wish, in college and led her chapter to its highest fundraising total for Make-A-Wish Illinois. Today, she teaches and encourages her students to “go out into the world and do good.”
