On October 12, 2022 The Paige Elizabeth Keely Foundation will hold its Second Benefit Gala, Shine Like the Stars at the Flowerfield in St. James, in honor of Paige Keely. 

Please Visit our Website and check out all our Sponsorship packages & to purchase your ticket. We have several tiers to choose from ranging from $150-$10,000.00. https://thepaigekeelyfoundation.com/2022-gala-info 

The Paige Elizabeth Keely Foundation was created in honor of Paige Keely, who passed away at the age of 6, due to a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Early AVM detection can help to change the course of this disease. If Paige’s AVM had been detected her doctors believe it could have been treated and she would likely still be here today. 
The mission of the Paige Elizabeth Keely Foundation is to increase funding for early AVM detection. Our vision is to raise awareness for AVM’s, educate communities about this treatable condition, and to establish early detection screening. Your generous donation will allow us to pursue our mission and to help ensure that no family will have to go through the pain of losing a child when early detection can help save a life. 

To take our mission, vision and dream to the next level, we aspire to open the first Brain imaging center on Long Island. The advantage of owning an imaging machine and center along with the support of Dr. Kimon Bekelis, Director of the Stroke and Brain Aneurysm Center of Long Island and his incredible  staff, we will have the ability to continue and expand our No-Cost screening program, educate and provide more awareness about Brain AVM’s, Aneurysms and so many other conditions.  By offering life-changing non-invasive brain imaging this will truly take Preventative Care to a new level! We feel, ALL preventative care should be made available to everyone, insured or not. In addition to so many benefits of introducing and making this next level of preventative care available we will have the ability to help more in the community and likely save hundreds  of lives! 

At this year's Gala we have the pleasure of honoring Senator Mario Mattera, and community partner Kerry J. Maher-Weisse. 

All Sponsors & Supporters will be featured on all our social media and website.

On January 8, 2018, My daughter, Paige Keely was a seemingly perfect bright eyed energetic, beautiful 6 yr old. Paige passed away as a result of a ruptured Brain AVM (arteriovenous malformation). Paige went off to school that day spunky & cute as ever. Little did I know that would be the last time I heard her voice, smelled her hair & kissed her alive again! Paige, was eating lunch when she went crying to the lunch aide, she had a really bad headache.The school nurse called me immediately, since Paige wasn’t a “frequent flyer” at the nurses office. The nurse told me to come get her. Minutes later the nurse called me back saying, “we’ve called an ambulance, Paige is unresponsive". Paige vomited, began seizing & went unresponsive in a matter of minutes. By the time we arrived to the hospital they were on top of her, trying to resuscitate her. Within a few short hours of pure torture, my daughter lost her life to an undiagnosed Brain Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). Like so many who’ve lost their life or suffered from this “Silent Beast” AVM. Paiges last words were “I have a really bad headache” 

The Dr’s told us Paige was born with an AVM. It’s congenital and present from birth. I thought hearing my daughter didn’t survive was the worst. Hearing he Dr’s tell me “if you knew it was there, it was likely operable and Paige would be here today!” Paiges death haunts our family every day. Knowing there is a treatable SILENT disease they can be diagnosed is out there ! I needed to do something.  A local nurse & Dr's heard about my mission & vision & knew they could help! We've established an early detection screening program, at no-cost, CME classes, AVM awareness/Brain Trauma education to schools, businesses & communities.To take our mission, vision & dream to the next level, we aspire to open the first Brain imaging center on Long Island. By offering life-changing non-invasive brain imaging it will take Preventative Care to a new level & potentially save hundreds of lives!

It is because of caring individuals and businesses, like you, that enables us to keep reaching towards our mission to achieve our goal. We would like to thank you in advance for your support. A nonprofit is only as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can do more than we can do alone. 

Your donation allows us to bring our abilities and passions together to affect real change.
