Kelsey MacGibbon

Kelsey was introduced to BCEA by her mother, who was just beginning to navigate her own diagnosis and survivorship. As a marketing professional, Kelsey saw that she could make an immediate impact. It wasn’t long before she became a very active volunteer, leading the organization’s marketing efforts and serving as Board President in 2018. She appreciated being able to see “up close” the impact her efforts had on people’s lives, and felt that “giving back to an organization that has significantly contributed to the life of a loved one” was the least she could do. In her spare time, Kelsey enjoyed downhill skiing, yoga, spending time on Minnesota’s beautiful lakes and her friendships with other BCEA volunteers.

In remembrance of Kelsey, the Breast Cancer Education Association established the Kelsey J. MacGibbon Emerging Healthcare Professional Scholarship in 2023, aimed at nurturing future healthcare professionals.
