WHO WE ARE

Kelly's Angels Incorporated, was conceived by WNYT-TV anchor/reporter Mark Mulholland in memory of his late wife, Kelly, who lost her battle with cancer in 2007 at the age of 37.

The late Kelly Mulholland, pictured here with her children, McKenna and Connor, was a beloved wife, mother, and school teacher. Kelly’s legacy of kindness and her passion for helping children continue to inspire our efforts.

ANGEL HUG

Single, modest grants that bring comfort and cheer to a surviving parent in the form of memory-making travel, entertainment, or pampering to let them know we’re here for them

 

As the war in Ukraine continues, Kelly’s Angels stands with Ukraine. In fact, we want to help Ukrainian families with children who have relocated to New York’s Capital Region as a result of the war.

This new program aims to bring some light and hope to Ukrainian families with children who now reside in our community. Learn more and complete a Hugs for Ukraine application.

MOTHER-LOVIN’ 5K

The Mother-Lovin’ 5K is held on every Mother’s Day weekend.

All proceeds directly support our mission to help children who’ve lost a parent or sibling to cancer or other illness or who, themselves, are battling a life-threatening condition.

Your support brings joy to the lives of people who’ve endured or are going through some heartbreaking times.
