YANA hosts a winter gala, a summer cycling event, a spring and fall children’s consignment sale, a Christmas campaign and a special initiative through the schools. Each year, there are also many events led by community members in support of local families. We are incredibly grateful for the energy and dedication behind these fundraisers and for everyone who contributes and participates! Our events calendar shows upcoming events taking place in the Comox Valley in support of YANA.
