Benefit to Help Teacher and Coach Kelli Welch

A benefit will be held on November 12, 2023, from 1- 5 pm at the Mountain City Playhouse for Kelli Welch. Kelli was diagnosed with an aggressive form of kidney cancer in June and this giving, caring lady is in need of our love and support.

Kelli has been a teacher and coach in Rabun and Stephens counties for over 20 years. Currently, she is the physical education teacher at Rabun County Middle School, but she has not been able to work this school year. She is a wife to Jonathan Welch, the principal at Rabun County Elementary School, and mother to Chesney, Cooper, and Capi. She is also the proud “KK” to her 11-month-old grandson Reed. Kelli has impacted hundreds of children over the years through teaching and coaching recreation department teams. You can always find her supporting others.

The benefit will feature a hot dog meal, live music, silent auction items, raffles, cake auctions, and more. If you’d like to donate to the silent auction, bake a cake or donate your time that day please contact Amy Pruitt at 706-490-0795. Please come out and support Kelli and her family as they go through this cancer journey and please pray for Kelli, her family and her doctors as they engage in this battle.
