Thank you, Lynn, Nick, and the Comox Strathcona Probus Club, for your thoughtful donation and for choosing to support YANA. This contribution was initially intended as payment to a speaker from the military, Nick, who recently shared insights on PTSD and veterans at their meeting. Instead, Nick chose to redirect this honorarium to YANA. We appreciate your support!
Congratulations to our Christmas Crackers 2023 Grand Prize Winner
Posted on
As of Thursday, December 21, Crackers are SOLD OUT at ALL locations!
Thank you to our 2023 Christmas Crackers sponsor, Somers Private Wealth of RBC Dominion Securities whose generosity allowed 100% of every sale to be directed to accommodation and travel funding support for YANA families, and to prize donors Mark the Gold Guy and Tim from Simply Timeless for their neverending sparkly support! Huge gratitude as well to all volunteers, retail location staff, and Cracker purchasers in the Comox Valley and beyond for making this fundraiser a huge success again this year!
Congratulations to our grand prize winner, Mike Englehart! Mike struck gold (or should we say gold AND diamonds!) at his daughter-in-law’s Christmas dinner, where he cracked open the winning cracker purchased from Hugh’s Independent. Talk about a festive surprise!
But hold on, there’s more to this story! Mike and his lovely wife are gearing up to celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary on January 2nd. What better timing to win a dazzling diamond ring than right before such a special milestone? ❤️ Congratulations Mike, and a big thank you to everyone who participates in our fundraiser this year!

We extend our deepest gratitude to Liz R, Doug S, and John A for their recent donation from the sales of their enchanting Piano People earlier this month. Your creative contribution, crafted from 100% recycled vintage piano parts and adorned with whimsical bows, is truly a masterpiece of generosity.
A massive heartfelt thanks to Jason Welsh for his incredibly generous donation. His story with YANA starts many years ago when Jason dedicated his time to chopping wood for YANA. Despite the years that have passed, YANA has remained close to Jason’s heart. Your unwavering support, both in the early days and now, reflects the true spirit of community and compassion. Thank you Jason!
