Kelly Society

The Kelly Society was named for the special little girl who inspired the creation of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada in 1982. The Northey family remembers their child in a very special way through the Kelly Northey Legacy Fund which provides endowments to fund information, education and support programs, particularly for young patients with brain tumours.

Members of the Kelly Society are generous individuals who lead by example, making significant contributions to Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada over a period of three years. The Kelly Society was created to thank these leaders. Membership is exclusive to individuals who commit to making a minimum gift of $500 per year for three years.

  • $ 500 per year for 3 years
