Meet Kelley and Help Power Big Magic

The Giving Coast

If you ever stopped at Rise Up Cafe in the morning, you probably remember Kelley. She’s the one who always greeted everyone with a hug and a cheery, “How ya doing, buddy!” When Rise Up closed, Kelley didn’t miss a beat. She’s now working her magic at Chick-fil-A (on S. Tamiami Trail), bringing that same warmth, welcome, and unstoppable energy to a whole new team and community. Kelley is a two-time cancer survivor and a competitive ballroom dancer. She's remarkable. She was even featured as a “Woman of Influence” in Sarasota’s Know Magazine, because that’s exactly what she is. Kelley proves that when you create opportunities, extraordinary people will rise to meet them. Your support makes all the difference. Please consider a donation to help us continue building inclusive workplaces and brighter futures.
