Why It Matters

One YES Can Change Everything

The children we serve are navigating some of life's hardest moments — serious illness, loss, trauma, and uncertainty. In the middle of all of that, a single day of pure joy can shift everything.

It tells a child: you matter. You are seen. You deserve happiness — right now, exactly as you are.

Your donation doesn't just fund an experience. It funds hope. It funds connection. It funds a memory that a child and their family will hold onto forever.

We got tired of hearing NO — so we created YES DAY.
Jodi Sonenshine, Executive Director
Brittany Rainwater, Board President
