WILTON — Kelly’s Angels, a Capital Region charity devoted to helping local children and families who are facing loss and grief, announced this week that its annual college scholarship program will expand for 2024 to include students from Lake George and Mechanicville High Schools.
Twenty-four students from 12 local high schools will each receive $1,500 college scholarships in 2024 from Kelly’s Angels, a press release states. Kelly’s Angels has given out $126,000 in college scholarships since 2016.
Kelly’s Angels was founded in memory of Kelly Mulholland, the late wife of WNYT-NewsChannel 13 anchor/reporter Mark Mulholland. Kelly died in 2007 at age 37, after a long struggle with breast cancer. She was an elementary school teacher, and one of her first teaching jobs was in Lake George.
“The Lake George and Mechanicville communities have wrapped their arms around Kelly’s Angels, and we are excited to be able to help students in each district,” Mark Mulholland stated in the release. “Lake George is the site of our annual Kelly’s Angels Summer-Lovin’ Fest each July, so it’s fitting that we can now provide scholarships to Lake George High seniors who have persevered in the face of adversity.”
“Kelly’s Angels has brought vital help and needed smiles to the faces of Lake George children and families battling illness and we’re honored that they’re also now helping our graduating students who’ve persevered in the face of adversity,” said Lake George High School Principal Francis Cocozza in the release.
Students from Lake George, Mechanicville, Queensbury, Whitehall, Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls, Stillwater, Shenendehowa, Saratoga Catholic, South Glens Falls, Fort Edward and Hoosic Valley will be eligible for Kelly’s Angels scholarships in 2024, the release states.
