Where the donations will go
Over the decades our Foundation has partnered with incredible organization that deliver vital mental health support to our community. From Kelty Mental Health at BC Children’s Hospital to The BC Crisis Center to Jack.Org, we could not be more proud of the work being done. That being said, we have found that many people in the community are still not aware these incredible resources exisit and are available to them. This is our mission. We want to connect the work being done with the people who need it. We want mental health to be treated like physical health, where each and every parent knows basic mental health first aid and where to turn when they are concerned or worse… in crisis. This information must get to families BEFORE they need it. That’s why our team has partnered up to deliver the first ever Confi-DANCE school program that ensures resources reaches families in a memorable, impactful and meaningful way. It’s a party with a purpose, and YOU are invited. Attend our event to find out more about this ground breaking initaitive.
WHAT IS THE ConfiDANCE?
Headlined by Vancouver’s top kids DJ—Rock’N Beau, this isn’t just a school dance —it's a party with a purpose. The ConfiDANCE Tour will connect thousands of families across Vancouver and BC with mental health resources and tools, raising crucial awareness about what is available for both parents and children when they are in need.
In the month leading up to our ConfiDANCE event, our Kind Mind program will engage teachers, students, and parents with mental health workbooks designed by child psychologists, kindness challenges, and optional workshops from our partner mental health organizations across Canada. Most importantly, resources will be sent home to parents so they know where to turn when they need answers. All these activities will build up to an epic Dance Party, where DJ Rock’N Beau will transform a school dance into a party with a powerful purpose. As students enjoy the music, games, and prizes, they’ll also receive valuable tips on maintaining their mental well-being, reinforcing the lessons learned throughout the Kind Mind Month. Free for schools with limited spots available!
Let’s dance, connect, and change lives together!

About The Kelty Foundation
At the Kelty Foundation, our mission is to create a meaningful impact by funding organizations dedicated to reaching and supporting youth precisely when and how they need it most. Over the past 15 years, we raised close to 8 million and achieved significant milestones, including:
The Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at BC Children's Hospital
The Kelty Dennehy Mental Health Resource Centre at Lions Gate Hospital
VGH/UBC Hospital Foundation - Centre for Excellence - Depression Research
BC Crisis Centre -Suicide Prevention Workshops and 1-on-1 Chat Lines
Key partnerships with BC Crisis Centre, UBC,, Vancouver General Hospital, Jack.org, Whistler Community Services and more.
The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation came to be when Kerry and Ginny Dennehy lost their 17-year-old son, Kelty, to depression. Their grief ignited a determination to help other children and youth access mental health support. Our aim is to increase prevention, addressing the determinants of mental health problems to more effectively curb and manage them; and improve access to care, making it easier and more available to those in need.
