Kelly Corrigan
Biography
Best-Selling Author, Breast Cancer Survivor, Host of the PBS series Tell Me More With Kelly Corrigan
A gifted storyteller and talented interviewer, Kelly Corrigan has touched hearts and captured audiences as the author of four consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including Tell Me More, Glitter and Glue, and The Middle Place, her poignant personal story of battling breast cancer while caring for her father who was also undergoing cancer treatment. Corrigan is currently the host of the PBS and PBS News Hour series Tell Me More With Kelly Corrigan, an intimate, heartfelt interview series where notable guests such as Jennifer Garner, James Corden and Bryan Stevenson reveal the experiences we all have in common, and how we can use those experiences to make a difference. These insightful conversations educate and entertain as guests reflect on their lives and the impact they have on their worlds. Corrigan has been called “the Poet Laureate of the ordinary” by Huffington Post and “the voice of a generation” by O Magazine and lauded by everyone from Lena Dunham to Imbolo Mbue. She strikes on unusual balance on stage between David Sedaris-funny and Brené Brown-authentic. As a speaker, she is known for customizing presentations and making audience members feel as though she is speaking directly to them. One client said, “She had the whole auditorium laughing and crying — more of the former than the latter. She brings humor and grace to the tragic and the ordinary — a talent few people possess.” By connecting through the universal bonds of family, friendships, life journeys and overcoming obstacles and challenges, Kelly inspires others and empowers them to overcome and make the best of any situation or challenge. Corrigan is also the host of weekly Podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders, a place for people who like to laugh while they think, and who find it useful to look closely at ourselves and our weird ways in the hopes that knowing more and feeling more, will help us do more and be better. She is also an accomplished columnist, appearing in O, The Oprah Winfrey Magazine, Glamour and Good Housekeeping, and a dedicated volunteer and activist for healthcare work specifically targeting low-income children. Constantly noted as one of the best storytellers around, Corrigan connects audiences in a very intimate and empowering way. Described as touching, heartwarming and empathetic, Corrigan is just as likely to be called cool, funny, smart and irresistibly authentic. Her inspirational words elevate the experiences of everyday life and uplift our darkest moments with humor, humanity and unforgettable eloquence.

Event FAQs
What is the Holy Child Library Event?
This special event is typically held during the day at The Apawamis Club in Rye following Thanksgiving in the first week of December. One part of this event is the opportunity to shop with various vendors during the day. The shopping portion is open to all friends and family of the Holy Child community and it runs from the morning until the mid-afternoon. The vendors that participate in our Boutique donate 20% of all sales that day back to Holy Child. The luncheon portion of this event accompanies a speaker who is typically an accomplished author or journalist. Past luncheon speakers include: Lulu Powers, Lee Woodruff, Anabel Monaghan, Sharon Epperson, Lucia Greenhouse, Kayleen Shafer, Anita Baglaneas Devlin ’78, and Susan Marren Whelan ’77. Funds raised from this event directly support our students and the Maureen Alison McGrath’78 Memorial Library programming.
How is the Holy Child Library Event different this year?
You guessed it! It will be held “virtually” with a new twist on this signature Holy Child event. Holy Child remains committed to safely celebrating and fostering our strong sense of community, so instead of our traditional in-person Boutique and Luncheon, we switched it up this year. Our entire community and friends of Holy Child can enjoy shopping virtually and in-person with select local stores all day on December 3 and join our speaker Kelly Corrigan via zoom in the early evening for “cocktails and conversation.” Kelly Corrigan has written four-time New York Times bestselling memoirs in the last decade, earning her the title of “The Poet Laureate of the ordinary” from the Huffington Post and the “voice of a generation” from O Magazine. She is curious and funny and eager to go well past the superficial in every conversation. To accommodate school and work schedules, we thought it best to gather as a community before dinner time, with our very special featured speaker. The program portion of the virtual event should last about 30 minutes. The evening event will be in a webinar format. Even if you happen to be in transit you can still register and listen in on your phone!
Who is our speaker this year?
We are so thrilled to have Kelly Corrigan! Check out everything about Kelly Corrigan on her website: https://www.kellycorrigan.com/
How can I participate in the event?
We have several ways in which you can participate and most of it from the comfort of your home.
Consider the sponsorship opportunities and Giving Tree donations (items requested by our faculty to enhance the curriculum). Christmas is around the corner and now is the time to get a jump start on your holiday shopping. Our vendors focus on customer service and are eager for our Holy Child community including friends and family to shop. Look for our Vendor Boutique listing. Most are online and a few are local stores are ready for you to shop in person during regular business hours. Enjoy perusing our vendors and the merchandise through their websites, Instagram, and Facebook pages. They are supporting Holy Child by giving back 20% of their profits from Holy Child shoppers when you use the code: HC2020
You do not need to be a member of the Holy Child community to participate in this years event. Shopping using the PROMO CODE: HC2020 is open to all on December 3rd. Please share with friends and family. Tickets must be purchased for the Kelly Corrigan portion of this event.
How do I view the participating vendors?
You can easily peruse the vendor links above in the Boutique Vendors Section. We encourage you to “pre-shop”, but please don’t check out and fulfill the transaction until December 3. Transactions made prior to December 3 will not count towards the percentage back to Holy Child. So please make your wish list, but save those purchases until our December 3 event!
How do I share the Promo Code with my friends and family?
Simply share our event website link with your friends and family. Remind them to use the code: HC2020
What if I forget to enter the Promo Code (HC2020) when I shop?
Please try not to! Our Promo Code HC2020 is the same for all vendors to make it easy for our participants. Please contact the vendor and share your purchase confirmation email ASAP. State you missed the promo code for Holy Child.
