Thank Yous

Thank you to the Air Canada Foundation for gifting us two tickets anywhere Air Canada flies. We’re thrilled to be able to offer cyclists who fundraise $100 or more an opportunity to win such a fabulous prize. Special thanks to Air Canada pilot, Steve Dion, who coordinates this gift and congratulations to winner, Peter Donkers!

Thank-you to a group of dedicated, hardworking people who have shared hours and hours of time with YANA: the Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride Committee. Sending love, gratitude and relaxing vibes to Ron Arksey, Kate Berg, Marcie Dumais, Patti Fletcher, Jill Grant, Michael Johnson, Alexandra Khan, Deanne McRae, Kelly Rusk, Ashley Smith, Vanessa Vipond and Maureen Wagner.

YANA salutes each and every one of the Chiefs from HMCS Quadra and the Ships Company during their YANA days. We are thrilled that you continue to think of us with your fundraising efforts. YANA Board Director, Hugh Mackinnon, attended the graduation along with Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Darrell MacKay – HMCS Quadra Chief Lieutenant Colonel Allan Dengis – Commanding Officer and Cadet Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Elliot Dunbar-Coxswain.

Komox Men’s Baseball League recently held a beer garden with proceeds going to YANA! Once a year they hold a beer garden for charity and we are so thankful they selected us.  So many of you came out to the Highland School field in Comox to watch the games and enjoy a cold one for YANA.  Cheers to all of you!

Colorful paint splattered high-fives go to 8-year-old Olivia for donating 100% of her Market Day face painting earnings to YANA. Thank you Olivia! And thank you also to your mom Jody of Home & Garden Gate for giving you a prime location and matching your face painting earnings for YANA!

Gratitude to Superstore! Every time customers used the Save-It-Forward coupons at Superstore between May 21st and July 11th you had an impact on our YANA families! Superstore matched your coupon value with a donation! Yippee for easy-peasy giving while you grocery shop.

We love Gaglardi Academy! Thank you so much for thinking of us at YANA. Well done!

A grade 7 student thought of YANA and donated homemade colouring books leftover from her school entrepreneur project. We will offer them to YANA kids.  High fives to you!

Our gratitude to Cedar Grove Roofing Supply who donated funds to YANA raised through a charity drive.

The Kusam Klimb is an annual event in Sayward, BC.  The cheeky team that participated, known as Team “We Prefer Being On Top,” selected YANA as their charity of choice. Led by team captain Jennifer H, this team deserves to hear thanks all the way to the mountain tops!  Thank you!
