Gaelin Elmore is a nationally recognized speaker, advocate, and former NFL athlete whose powerful story of resilience and purpose has inspired audiences across the country. Having experienced homelessness and the foster care system as a child, Gaelin brings a deeply personal perspective to issues of trauma, healing, and hope.

Rather than focusing on achievement, Gaelin uses his journey—from instability and adversity to impact and influence—to illuminate the critical role of belonging and support in shaping lives.

As keynote speaker for Cheers for Children, Gaelin will challenge and inspire attendees to be people who care deeply about belonging. His message is clear: when we create environments where children feel seen, safe, and supported, we become the difference that transforms lives.

We’re honored to welcome back Kevin Doran of KSTP Channel 5 as our emcee. A familiar face to Minnesotans and a trusted voice in journalism, Kevin brings not only his signature warmth and professionalism to the stage, but also a deep and enduring commitment to child advocacy.
