Brian Kelly will be honored next week for his dedication to cancer research.
The Notre Dame coach, along with ESPN’s Chris Berman and West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins, will be recognized at the 12th Annual Dick Vitale Gala in Sarasota, Fla., which benefits the V Foundation for Cancer Research on May 12.
Kelly’s wife Paqui is a two-time breast cancer survivor and when the Kelly family moved to South Bend, it established the Kelly Cares Foundation, which supports initiatives in health, community and education. They also helped create the Paqui and Brian Kelly Comprehensive Breast Center at Saint Joseph Hospital in Michiana.
