📚💗 YESS FUNDRAISER – A FEW QUESTIONS ANSWERED! 💗🏁
Since my first post about our Sept. 5 YESS fundraiser, I’ve had a few questions come in, so I figured I’d put everything together in one spot! 🥰
⏰ WHAT TIME?
The collection will take place September 5, 2026 at 5:30 PM during the autograph session at Edmonton International Raceway!
📍 WHERE DO I BRING MY DONATIONS?
Come find the pink & black #3 Candice Pahl Racing car during the autograph session and bring your donations right down to me! I’ll collect everything and handle getting it to YESS afterward. ❤️
👕 DO DONATIONS HAVE TO BE BRAND NEW?
Not everything!
• Clothing can be gently used or brand new.
• Personal hygiene products must be NEW, unopened and not tampered with.
• Undergarments must also be NEW and unopened.
With fall coming up, YESS is especially looking for things like cold-weather clothing — sweaters, jackets, toques, scarves, gloves and boots — along with back-to-school items like backpacks, binders, pens, pencils and notebooks. 🎒🧤
👨👩👧👧 AGE RANGE? 👩👦
From yess.org — "YESS supports single-point-of-access to immediate and low-barrier physical, mental, cultural, and emotional health supports and a safe place to stay for youth aged 15-21 who are experiencing crisis in the Edmonton Metro Area. The Youth Support Centre also hosts Monday to Friday Resource and Health Hubs with physical and mental health clinics and youth-supporting resources to ensure youth 15-24 get the help they need, when they need it, and where they need it—in their community."
💵 WHAT ABOUT MONETARY DONATIONS / E-TRANSFER?
Prefer to make a monetary donation or e-transfer? Send me a message beforehand or come see me on September 5th and I’ll get you the information you need!
If you would like a tax receipt for a monetary donation, YESS requires your:
• First & last name
• Complete mailing address including postal code
• Email address
PLEASE stop and see me if you’re making a monetary donation and would like a tax receipt! ❤️ I’ll have a sheet ready for you to fill out with the information YESS needs, which will make it much easier for them to process and email everyone’s receipts afterward.
If you are requesting a tax receipt for new donated items, YESS also asks that a purchase receipt be provided with the donation. 💗
Thank you so much to everyone who has already reached out, shared the event or started collecting items. Every little bit adds up, and I’m really excited to see what we can accomplish together for youth in our community. 🥹❤️
