MISSION

The Kellyn Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with a mission to develop, support, facilitate and implement programs that encourage family and community physical and emotional wellness.  We focus on healthy lifestyles with positive outcomes that can be sustained and taught to future generations, while helping to reduce the individual, family, community and national chronic disease burden.

Healthy Neighborhood Immersion Strategy

​The core of Kellyn's strategy is building long-term relationships with leaders within a neighborhood and jointly working together to encourage healthier lifestyle choices.  Kellyn focuses on neighborhoods that are primarily defined as elementary school catchment areas; where seniors, families, individuals, community organizations and businesses share relationships and support. Our objective within each neighborhood to “Make the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice” and make living a healthy lifestyle the cultural norm, thus reducing the overall impact of chronic disease individually and nationally.

1. Relationships of trust are everything.
2. Diversity, tolerance, and inclusion for all, without bias, is necessary.
3. Everyone wants to be healthy.
4. Everyone needs loving support at some time.
5. Neighborhoods grow stronger when the neighborhood families are involved in planning, implementation and all the successes and failures.
6. Infrastructure and cash flow are critical to long-term sustainability and success.
7. Collaboration with partners within and outside of the neighborhood strengthens the overall community.​
