Kelly Family Endowment


AANA First VP John D. Kelly IV, M.D., FAANA and the AANA Education Foundation have teamed up to create the Kelly Family Endowment Fund. This endowment was created in memory of Dr. Kelly’s twin brother, Michael P. Kelly Sr., who passed away in 2022. Both Dr. Kelly and his brother Michael developed a strong dedication and commitment to the underserved and underrepresented. The Endowment Fund will sponsor an annual Lecture at the AANA meeting to be given, in perpetuity, by an accomplished female and/or minority Orthopedic Surgeon. Demonstrating success in the face of adversity will encourage others to pursue their dreams. The endowment’s chief aim is to increase representation of minorities and females in our beloved profession.

Matching Opportunity: Dr. and Mrs. Kelly are committed to raising $100,000 to endow this lecture. They have agreed to match the first $25,000 raised. That means every dollar raised is doubled. What a great way to make your donation count!

On behalf of the AANA Education Foundation and the Kelly family, thank you for donating to this endowment fund.
