Stay Tuned for more information on the next Kelsi Leah Young Fashion Show, which will take place on August 23, 2025, at San Jose Country Club. This isn’t just a glamorous event; it’s a purpose-driven initiative supporting families in our Community PēdsCare® program. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Kelsi Leah Young Respite Care Fund, a crucial resource for families caring for children with life-limiting conditions.

Kelsi Leah Young was born with medical challenges. Her parents, Leslie and Brian, were hopeful, but their journey was fraught. They were on the rollercoaster of Kelsi’s medical care, financial burdens, and balancing care for Kelsi, her infant twin sister and toddler brother.

They turned to Community PēdsCare for help. On two significant family occasions, they needed someone to stay with Kelsi. Community PēdsCare and others stepped in to make that happen.

Because of this experience, the Young family later created a fund to ensure other families would have the chance for a time of respite. Kelsi passed at 10 months old.

“Her name and her spirit are going to live on forever because of this, so that the gift of giving can continue.” — Brian Young, Kelsi’s father
