Thank Yous

Thank you, Karem!

She turned her 50th birthday party into something truly magical! Instead of gifts, she gave the gift of community by asking your amazing guests to donate to YANA — and wow, did they show up! Thank you for making YANA part of your celebration and for proving that 50 is fabulous and full of love.

We are immensely thankful to Boston Pizza for selecting YANA as the recipient of this year’s Hearts Campaign!

Between January 14th and February 14th, guests showed their love by donating through purchasing paper hearts, enjoying delicious Salted Caramel Panookie desserts (yum!), and ordering heart-shaped pizzas on Valentine’s Day. Thanks to all of your generosity and Boston Pizza’s big-hearted support, a total of $713 was raised for YANA!

We are deeply grateful to Chamya for her incredible generosity and heart. She just wrapped up her Mother’s Day photo sessions and chose to donate 20% of the proceeds to support our cause — a beautiful way to honor moms and give back at the same time.

We are beyond grateful to Jody Murray, one of our star volunteers, for choosing YANA as the recipient of her Scotia Wealth Management donation! Through her incredible generosity and dedication, Jody has donated $1,000 since November 2023, which is an amazing contribution that directly supports children and families in our community. This was achieved by Jody logging volunteer hours, with the company providing a grant of $15 per hour volunteered, up to the annual maximum of $1,000! Jody, your commitment to making a difference is inspiring, and your support means the world to us. Thank you for being such a passionate advocate for YANA—we’re so lucky to have you in our corner!

A huge heartfelt thank you to Sally Long and her amazing family for hosting a garage sale this past Saturday — and for generously donating 100% of the proceeds to YANA! Thanks to their incredible effort and community spirit, $1263.77 was raised to support local families. Amazing!! Thank you Sally!

A huge thank you to Quantum Dental for organizing a silent auction at their staff holiday party and choosing to donate every dollar raised — an amazing $1,565 — to YANA

A huge thank you to Design Therapy Inc. for their generous donation of $821 from their online auction — with all proceeds going to YANA!
Your support helps ensure that families in our community know they are not alone. We’re so grateful!

Huge shoutout to Euspira for being absolute community stars!
This amazing new business in the Comox Valley just wrapped up a silent auction fundraiser on their Instagram—and get this—they raised an incredible $1893 for YANA!

A huge thank you to Lacasse Construction for their generous donation of $1,197 to YANA! From January 14 to February 28, they pledged to donate $1 for every follower they had—and thanks to this amazing community, they went from 1,090 to 1,197 followers!

We’re so grateful for Lacasse Construction’s creativity, generosity, and community spirit—thank you for making a difference!

Huge thanks to Katrina Kaboly for her incredible generosity and community spirit! This year, Katrina donated $1,478.50 to YANA as part of her commitment to give back through her real estate listings. 

Thank you for turning home listings into support for families in the Comox Valley!
