Thank Yous

Wow… just WOW! We are beyond grateful to the amazing Forbidden Dance Company for their spectacular Fall Gala Social Dance last weekend. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for Emily, Norene, Joe, and our adorable friend Bromley, who graced our office today with an incredibly heartwarming surprise – a generous cheque of $2010.30!
Their donation not only left us speechless but also reminded us of the profound impact dance, the spirit of giving, and community love can have on all of us. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

We are absolutely filled to the brim with gratitude to Fall River Logging LTD for their incredibly generous donation of over $1400 from their recent Employee Appreciation Golf Tournament! 

Your unwavering support is like a hole-in-one for us, and we couldn’t be more thankful! Here’s to the power of community, the joy of giving, and the spirit of golfing for something bigger than ourselves. Cheers to you all for showing us what it means to drive change, one golf swing at a time!

Here’s a snapshot of the amazing team at Fall River Logging LTD 



Earlier this year, Sara M. poured her heart into her grade 12 capstone project, and the result is nothing short of magical and NEEDS to be shared!!

When Sara and her family stayed at a YANA apartment in Vancouver, a piece of art on the wall illustrating the Comox Valley became a comforting presence, reminding her of the immense support of our community behind her. Inspired by this, Sara taught herself how to paint and created 4 STUNNING watercolor masterpieces capturing the beauty of the Comox Valley.

Sara turned her beautiful art into sets of prints, sold them, and donated the proceeds to YANA! 😊💖 Not stopping there, she generously donated the original paintings to YANA, ensuring they continue inspiring hope in the hearts of families going through tough times.

Sara, your kindness and creativity have left us in awe. Your art isn’t just paintings; they are symbols of resilience, community, and love. So, from the depths of our hearts, THANK YOU, Sara! Your art has a special place in our YANA family, reminding us all of the incredible power of giving and creativity.

A heartfelt shoutout to Andrew Sheret Limited for their donation from their recent golf tournament fundraiser! Your kindness and compassion are the rays of sunshine that light up our community.

To everyone who participated, donated, and lent a helping hand, you are the true heroes of this story. Together, we’re proving that kindness knows no bounds!

Special thanks to Keith H. for not only being part of this amazing gesture but also for dropping it off at our doorstep.

Huge thank you to Janet F. for her recent donation to YANA in lieu of payment to Anne Davies for her purchased art work. We are absolutely thrilled and touched by your incredible generosity!

A big shoutout to the amazing Madison!🍋🧁 

Madison hosted her annual lemonade stand in August; this year, she added a sweet twist with cupcakes! She raised an INCREDIBLE $225 for YANA families!

What makes this donation truly special is the fact that it comes from the heart of a young, compassionate soul. Madison’s lemonade stand demonstrates the incredible impact even our youngest community members can have. 🌟✨

Thank you, Madison, for being a shining example of how young kids can make a BIG difference! 🌈👏

A huge shoutout to Ecole Robb Road for their incredible generosity at the Young Entrepreneur Fair! Thank you, Ecole Robb Road, for proving that age is no barrier to making a positive difference in our world.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Trueman Consulting Ltd for their extraordinary generosity in supporting YANA. Your commitment to the families we support goes far beyond words, and your contribution truly humbles us.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the amazing members of the Comox Valley Potters Club for their unwavering dedication and hard work in making the 18th Annual Chili Bowl fundraiser an absolute triumph! Through their collective efforts, they raised a staggering $4,161.49, a testament to the incredible generosity within our community. Here’s to the Comox Valley Potter’s Club and all those who contributed to this fantastic success! 

We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to Joyce S. and the Fortis BC Employee Giving Program for their incredible support and generosity. Thanks to Joyce’s thoughtful request, the donation has been directed towards YANA, allowing us to continue providing travel assistance and accommodation support to families in our community traveling out of our community for medical support. Together, we can bring hope, comfort, and smiles to those who need it most.
