On February 28, 2026, YES Institute celebrated 30 years of impact aboard the Biscayne Lady Yacht – and what a night it was.

Surrounded by community leaders, families, long-standing partners, and new friends, we honored three decades of work dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting the healthy development of youth through powerful communication and education. From heartfelt remarks and inspiring performances to joyful connections and stunning views, the evening was a reflection of the strength and support within our community.

We are profoundly grateful to everyone who joined us and to those who contributed during the event to strengthen YES Institute’s future.

Thank You to Our 30-Year Celebration Sponsors & Supporters

This milestone would not have been possible without the leadership and partnership of our sponsors and supporters:

Your partnership fuels the next chapter of this work.

Double Your Impact: $50,000 Matching Opportunity

We are especially excited to share a powerful opportunity to extend this momentum. Thanks to the generosity of the Wildflower Foundation, all new gifts – and any increased gifts from returning donors – will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000.

That means your support today can go twice as far.

As we look ahead to the next chapter of YES Institute’s work, we invite you to be part of it. Your contribution to the UpLift Fund helps sustain life-saving education, strengthen families, and ensure that youth continue to grow in environments grounded in connection and care.

If you were inspired by this milestone evening – or if you couldn’t attend but believe in this mission – now is the moment to give.

Together, we are building what comes next.
