Located in East Windsor, N.J., Kelly’s Heroes is a 501c3 that raises money for clinical trials, research and support services for those facing pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of all major cancers, with a five-year survival rate of just 9 percent. Our inspiration Steve Kelly was one of the 40,000 people annually who die of the disease. 

Kelly’s Heroes will hold its annual St. Patrick’s Day Party March 15, 2024, at Mercer Oaks in Princeton Junction, N.J., with an anticipated attendance of 150-175 people. We’re gathering donations of gift certificates, event tickets, merchandise, sports collectibles and items from organizations and businesses for a raffle and silent action. Proceeds support the Steve Kelly Fund for Pancreatic Cancer Research at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, where Steve Kelly was a clinical trial hero advancing the research for other patients diagnosed with this insidious disease.

 As an all-volunteer 501c3, Kelly’s Heroes devotes 100 percent of its proceeds to ensure a future of hope for others facing pancreatic cancer. Our IRS Employer Identification Number is 47-4947588.
