YANA is generously upheld by the spirit and kindness of the Comox Valley. Check out what is going on and learn about amazing supportive efforts taking place within our community. We respect the privacy of our individual donors, as such this is a sampling of donations where public acknowledgement is appropriate.
Thank you Hansen for thinking of YANA and donating $115 raised as part of your graduating year’s Capstone Project! It’s initiatives like these where we get a glimpse of all the kindness and creativity that exists throughout the Comox Valley!
We wish you all the best in your graduating year and thank you for making a difference in our community!
THANK YOU Comox Valley Makers Market VENDORS! A million thanks to everyone who came out to the Comox Valley Makers Market Decorates Christmas craft fair at the Comox Legion! From the amazing crafter to all of you who showed up to support – thank you for making this event a HUGE success! Because of YOU, we raised over $2400 for Comox Valley families in need of out-of-town medical care. Your kindness in ensuring no family is ever alone has made this season so much brighter.
Last week, families of the Toshikan Traditional Karate and Kobudō Toshikan Traditional Goju-Ryu Karate and Kobudō dojo participated in a night of intention, offering donations in support of YANA.
Thank you, Sensei Mac, and to the families who supported this effort. We are deeply humbled by your kindness and consciousness, as you help bring about positive change for everyone around us.
WOW, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE! We hope everyone had a fabulous time at the Yellowpoint Christmas Spectacular this week! We couldn’t be more grateful for the love and support YANA received.
A huge thanks to everyone who supported YANA by buying 50/50 tickets! Thanks to you, we sold over $6,500 worth of tickets!!! Congratulations to the lucky 50/50 winners who went home with half the pot from each show! A massive thank you to Katy of Razzle Dazzle Productions and the amazingly talented Yellowpoint performers and production team for bringing the holiday magic to life! A big shoutout to the fabulous staff and volunteers at the Sid Williams Theatre for their incredible hospitality! And of course, the HEART of it all—our extraordinary YANA volunteers and team who geared up to help make these tickets fly off the rolls, with reindeer antlers and all! We’re over the moon with gratitude! Thank you all!!
We’ve been waiting to share this one!!!
When Jessie and Amy reached out to YANA to share that they would be asking their wedding guests to donate to YANA in lieu of gifts, we were truly honoured!
Thank you to the beautiful couple and all the guests whose generosity helped create such a meaningful celebration. Your kindness and generosity will have a lasting impact, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have been part of this special day!
Cheers to Amy and Jessie and the incredible love that surrounds them!
