For over twenty years, YANA has welcomed the holiday season by making and selling Christmas Crackers in support of local children and families.
Every year, 5,000 crackers are lovingly handcrafted by volunteers and filled with the usual delights. 50 crackers have special prizes, including one with an extra special grand prize- A breathtaking ring donated by Mark the Gold Guy and appraised by Tim Haley.
We are incredibly grateful to Somers Private Wealth of RBC Dominion Securities for their sponsorship of the 2024 Christmas Crackers! This generous support allows 100% of the proceeds of this fundraiser to be directed to accommodation and travel funding support for YANA families.
