Congratulations, Bella! 2026 Parisi Scholarship Recipient

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 16:13:08 GMT

Congratulations to Our 2026 Kelsey Kramer Parisi Speed School Scholarship Recipient!

We are so proud to announce that Bella Novia has been selected as the 2026 recipient of the Kelsey Kramer Parisi Speed School Scholarship Award. Bella is an Owen J. Roberts middle school student and we could not be more excited to see what she accomplishes through this opportunity.

The Parisi Speed School Scholarship was created to give young athletes the chance to grow in confidence, strength, and skill: values that were at the heart of everything Kelsey believed in. Kelsey knew that sports had the power to shape a person, and this scholarship is our way of making sure that opportunity is available to deserving young athletes in our community.

Bella's family shared a few words that reminded us exactly why this foundation exists:

"Bella was both excited and humbled to learn she had been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Kelsey Kramer Parisi Speed School Scholarship Award. We are truly honored by this opportunity and grateful for the impact Kelsey's Legacy Foundation continues to have on young athletes. Bella is looking forward to making the most of this scholarship and carrying forward the values that Kelsey's legacy represents."

We are so grateful to the Novia family for sharing that with us, and we are cheering Bella on every step of the way.

If you would like to support opportunities like this one for young athletes in our community, we invite you to donate in Kelsey's honor.

Kelsey's Klubhouse Is Here: A New Space for Youth in Pottstown

Fri, 01 May 2026 18:15:56 GMT

A New Home for Youth Leadership, Learning, and Community in Pottstown

We have some exciting news to share, and we could not be more proud to share it.

Kelsey's Legacy Forever Strong Foundation has officially partnered with YWCA Tri-County Area to launch Kelsey's Klubhouse, a dedicated youth space located within YWCA Tri-County Area's Pottstown Integrated Wellness Complex on North Adams Street. This is a milestone we have been working toward, and it is one that feels deeply personal to everyone connected to Kelsey's legacy.

Kelsey's Klubhouse is exactly what its name suggests: a place where young people belong. It is designed to be a welcoming, safe, and engaging environment where youth can participate in educational, enrichment, and recreational activities that build confidence, connection, and real-world skills. In so many ways, it is a reflection of who Kelsey was and what she believed in, showing up for others, making people feel valued, and encouraging everyone around her to reach their potential.

This partnership includes a five-year commitment from our foundation to support YWCA Tri-County Area's Youth Education and Prevention Programs, with funding going toward dedicated youth spaces and ongoing programming that promotes education, leadership, and wellness for young people in the Pottstown community.

As part of the collaboration, the foundation is also proud to support the return of the All.Girl! Leadership and Wellness Conference, a beloved program that empowers girls in grades 3 through 8 through leadership development, wellness programming, and hands-on learning.

We hope you will join us to celebrate. On June 6th, 2026, YWCA Tri-County Area will host a public ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the official opening of Kelsey's Klubhouse. The event will also feature a special showcase from All.Girl! participants, including the YW All.Girl! Live Wax Museum, where participants envision who they will be ten years from now. Foundation supporters, community partners, and local officials are all invited to attend.

Lori Kramer, co-founder of the foundation, shared what this moment means: "Through this partnership with YWCA Tri-County Area, we hope Kelsey's Klubhouse will be a place where young people feel supported, inspired, empowered, encouraged to grow, build confidence, and discover their potential. Creating opportunities for youth in our community is the most meaningful way we can honor Kelsey's legacy."

That says it all.

Kelsey believed in living a full life, one centered on school, sports, and the people around her. Kelsey's Klubhouse carries that spirit forward. We are so grateful to Dr. Heather Coutts, Kelly Grosser and Kristie Piacine and the entire YWCA Tri-County Area team for making this vision a reality alongside us.

Stay tuned for more details on the June 6th celebration. We hope to see you there.

Honoring the students who embody Kelsey's spirit of determination, kindness, positivity, and connection

Each year, Kelsey's Legacy Forever Strong Foundation awards scholarships to outstanding young people who exemplify the values Kelsey lived by – determination, kindness, positivity, connection , and an unwavering commitment to being the best version of themselves. This year we are proud to honor our latest recipients and celebrate their achievements.

Our scholarship program was founded on the belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to pursue their goals, whether in the classroom, on the field, or in their community. Kelsey understood that success does not come from talent alone, it comes from dedication, heart, and the support of the people around you.

To this year's recipients: Congratulations! We are so proud of everything you have accomplished and cannot wait to see what you do next. We know Kelsey would be thrilled..

Introducing Kelsey's Klubhouse

A New Home for Youth in Our Community

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Kelsey's Klubhouse, a youth-centered space located within the YWCA Tri-County Area's Integrated Wellness Complex in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. This initiative represents a powerful partnership between Kelsey's Legacy Forever Strong Foundation and the YWCA Tri-County Area, two organizations united by a shared commitment to empowering young people in our community.

Kelsey's Klubhouse offers a safe, welcoming environment where young people can participate in educational, enrichment, and recreational programming designed to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and foster meaningful connections. Through structured, evidence-based programming, we are giving youth across Montgomery, Chester, and Berks counties the tools they need to thrive.

This is exactly the kind of initiative Kelsey would have loved. She believed in showing up for others, lifting people up, and making every space she entered a little brighter. Kelsey's Klubhouse carries that spirit forward every single day.

Stay tuned for more updates on programming and how your family can get involved.
