Calling All Kellys

woody.jpg In honor of St. Patrick's Day, New York media mecca Michael's will be buzzing with good Irish cheer tonight, at the fifth annual Kelly Gang Benefit. Among the many Kellys expected include Keith Kelly of the New York Post, NFL hall-of-famer Jim Kelly, New York City police commisioner Ray Kelly, novelist Tom Kelly, Ed Kelly of American Express, Time Inc.'s managing editor, Jim Kelly, and House Beautiful publisher Kate Kelly Smith. No word on whether Kelly Ripa will make an appearance. The dinner fete will raise money for Hunter's Hope, a charity dedicated to fighting Krabbe's Disease, the genetic blood disorder that claimed the life of eight-year-old Hunter Kelly, son of footballer Jim Kelly, in 2005. Having so many Kellys in one place would have been a dream come true for Woody Boyd , the television bartender who famously composed the "Kelly Song." He and others would be "cheered" to know, however, that one needn't be a Kelly—or even Irish—to attend. Walk-in ticket buyers are welcome, starting at 6:30 p.m.
