Jay’s Hope Fund

Jay’s Hope Fund supports critical mental health education and awareness initiatives in our community. The fund makes the mental health campaign possible by providing resources, real stories, and tools to foster understanding and encourage conversation.

Jay’s Hope Fund also supports the “Who is Jay?” annual Mental Health Symposium that focuses on mental health and suicide prevention. Held in memory of Jay Ashby, it brings together speakers, advocates, and community members to reduce stigma, share resources, and promote hope and healing.

Kelly Scholarship Fund

The Larry and Joan Kelly Scholarship Fund is used to provide scholarships annually across SMA service area to students who are starting or furthering their career in healthcare.

Mr. Kelly was instrumental in helping with the initial discussions between the Foundation and Michelle and Vince Carter for the capital campaign that built the Vince Carter Sanctuary, which now houses WARM. Mrs. Kelly was a long-time volunteer with the WARM program, where she loved the children and shared with clients many stories of her career as a nurse.
