Michael Kelly will receive the ninth annual Antonio Varacalli Heroism Award tomorrow during ceremonies on the Bridge Street Bridge — the same bridge a distraught young woman jumped from 106 years ago in a suicide attempt, only to be saved by Varacalli. The story celebrated every December during the “It’s A Wonderful Life Weekend.”

Kelly-a former funeral homeowner- has worked for the past 30 years helping people in Seneca Falls through his participation in many local charitable groups, events, and organizations.

The ceremonies begin Saturday at 11 a.m.
