2025 Grantee Ceremony and Appreciation BBQ

September 25, 2025

On September 18th, 2025, YKCF held its annual appreciation BBQ for fund holders, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners. This year, a new element was added to the event: a ceremony celebrating our newly-awarded grant recipients. Through the evening, the room hummed with chatter, as everyone felt a mutual admiration for each other’s work and role in the community. They were especially appreciative, of course, to learn about each grant project and the work ahead: Congratulations once again to our grantees, and thank you to our fund advisors and sponsors. Check out the gallery below to celebrate them with us. Photos by Tommy Jorge, Uplift Media: https://www.uplift-media.ca/
