Dear YAX community,

YOU'RE THE BEST! We're at nearly 20% of our $20,000 goal! We really can't thank you enough for your support!

We have some fun stuff to share with you all in May, and you'll get to see how your generous gifts have made such a meaningful impact. Stay tuned -- we can't wait to show you!

In some more exciting news, YAX is participating in GoFundMe's #GivingTuesdayNow program! On May 5th, 2020, people from all over the world will take part in a global day of giving and unity as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. As part of #GivingTuesdayNow, your donations will give YAX the opportunity to qualify for a grant from GoFundMe! So please donate and share the campaign with your networks - let's keep this momentum going! 

Our 20 years of programming has been made possible by your generosity – all amounts (and the change in your pocket) are helpful and appreciated! Donate to the YAX Emergency Fund here.
