On June 12th, YES Institute gathered with some of our most cherished supporters for a donor celebration hosted by Lee Brian Schrager & Dr. Ricardo Restrepo, long-time YES Institute philanthropists and beloved members of our extended family. They generously opened their home for an evening of connection, gratitude, and celebration.

The night was filled with delicious food, warm conversation, and the kind of relationships that make this work possible. A parent within our extended family shared her personal experience navigating her child’s orientation journey and the profound difference YES Institute has made in both her child’s life and her family.

Evenings like this remind us why we do what we do. Every contribution, every relationship, and every room full of people who believe in this work make a real difference for young people and families across South Florida.

If you would like to become a contributor to our Kiaora Society of Donors and help sustain and grow this work, we invite you to give at https://yesinstitute.org/kiaora-society-of-donors
