Colts center Ryan Kelly was announced as one of five finalists for the 2025 NFLPA Alan Page Community Award on Tuesday.
Kelly earned Week 13 NFLPA Community MVP honors after he and his wife, Emma, hosted a community baby shower in Indianapolis for over 300 expecting families. The event was held in partnership with Healthy Birth Day, Inc., a nonprofit organization focused on decreasing stillbirth and infant deaths, and its Count The Kicks campaign and provided resources and essential items for pregnancy and post-delivery. The shower also featured over 10 local organizations providing guidance a variety of pregnancy-related topics, including insurance and car seat safety.
Since losing their first daughter, Mary Kate, to a miscarriage in 2021 the Kellys have dedicated themselves to helping other expecting families and raising awareness for stillbirths and infant deaths.
Each of the five finalists will receive a $10,000 donation from the NFLPA toward his foundation or charity of choice. This year's winner will be announced on Feb. 5 at the NFLPA's annual Super Bowl press conference in New Orleans – the winner will receive an additional $100,000 donation to his foundation or charity of choice.
