The Patrick Kelley Youth Foundation was founded to honor a wonderful man, Patrick Kelley. Pat loved children and they loved him. He felt very strongly that children should have goals they could work towards. He felt this built character and gave them the tools to become responsible and successful adults.
The Foundation has tried to mirror Patrick's beliefs by offering incentives, which produce desirable results. Through participating Clark County schools and the Greater Las Vegas After School All-Stars children are given parameters and guidelines for the upcoming quarter. When these goals are achieved, the children receive positive recognition and feedback. We have provided such children with over 1600 new bicycles.
The Foundation sponsors The Patrick Kelley Scholarship program to ensure that deserving young adults have an avenue to pursue their dreams. To date we have donated over $95,000 for college scholarships to deserving children. PKYF also makes donations to non-profit sports teams. We feel that through sports, children can learn life long lessons.
