Your efforts are essential in YANA’s mission to support children and families having to travel for medical care. Nearly a quarter of our annual income comes from fundraisers just like this.
When you choose to plan a fundraiser, you have the opportunity to incorporate your interests and creativity. It is a fun and meaningful way to make a positive difference in your community.
You can achieve two goals for YANA
Raising money is not the only important benefit of community-led fundraisers. Your fundraising efforts are also very important in building community awareness about YANA. Your efforts may change the lives of a family by simply letting them know what we do.
