2023 Keynote Luncheon Speaker
Gaelin Elmore
Former pro-football player, Gaelin Elmore, is on a mission to erase the belonging gap for youth with adverse backgrounds. Gaelin endured a childhood of homelessness, foster care, family struggles with addiction, abuse, and poverty before his high school football coach became his legal guardian. He then earned a scholarship to play college football, signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, and now works with teenagers from diverse communities and difficult backgrounds, helping them overcome their adversity to obtain a life of hope.
