Kegley founded a charity called Books Against Bullying, which sells new and used books for $1 and turns the money raised over to anti-bullying, youth mental health, suicide prevention and other humanitarian efforts that benefit children.
Landeskog is no stranger to the cause, proven by his work with the charity Friends Colorado. So Kegley wrote him a letter and wanted to pledge $100 to Friends Colorado. The Avalanche were in town to play the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday, but an upper body injury kept the captain from making the trip.
Nevertheless, the message got through, resulting in Landeskog shining a light on Kegley's work via Twitter.
