Thank you so much for your amazingly generous donation to our Book Fairy program. Because of your generosity, 33 children were able to shop their local book fairs to grow their home libraries, practice consumer skills, and experience a sense of equity with their peers. The students are so excited to be gifted with Book Fairy magic, and we appreciate your support in treating impoverished children to the memorable extras that make learning fun.
Kate O'Neal President, The Caring Link
Your partnership this spring has been such a blessing. Thank you for collecting all those stuffed Easter Eggs and for the funds collected in the cafe via your round up program. We are honored to be a CARES partner and look forward to continued opportunities to work together to support families caring for vulnerable children!

Attention Huntsville! #TeamYulista and #YulistaCARES has an eventful weekend ahead supporting multiple important causes and we’d love for you to join us! Friday, May 13th Kicking off the weekend, on Friday evening Yulista and the AAAA Tennessee Valley Chapter will be hosting a pre-game mixer at Stovehouse in support of the @tvc_aaaa Softball Tournament. The Shed at Stovehouse is reserved from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Everyone, including families, is invited to join us for live music and great company! Food and beverage will be available for purchase. Saturday, May 14th STOP #1 Start off your Saturday morning with a walk through #DowntownHSV in support of the @american_heart Association Heart Walk. Yulista's Recruiting Team will be stationed at The Square to chat about our mission and open positions with #TeamYulista. #YulistaCARES team members will be walking the event, and we hope you'll take a quick snap with the “Healthy Selfie” to promote the mission of AHA. STOP #2 After the AHA Heart Walk, stop by the @TVC_AAAA Young Professionals Softball Tournament at Brahan Spring Park, sponsored by Yulista. Our teams will be playing for the champion title on Softball Fields #1 and #2. Come cheer for teams from Yulista, Dynetics, Avion Solutions, i3 and SAIC! STOP #3 We encourage you to then visit the 2022 Relay for Life of N. Madison Co. This will be held at Hazel Green High School starting at 2:00 and ending at 7:00. Relay for Life is a community of like-minded survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and participants who believe that the future can be free from cancer. #TeamYulista member, Will Fowler, will be manning the grill and offering plates of pulled pork, smoked chicken and delicious sides... all homemade, nothing ever store bought! The plates will be cooked and sold at the event with all proceeds going to Relay For Life. Please come out and support this event while enjoying some great food. We are grateful to have the opportunity to participate in supporting these organizations in the Huntsville area. We look forward to a busy weekend and hope to see you there! #community #YulistaCARES #TVCAAAA #RelayforLife22 #AHA #HeartWalk22 #ihearthsv #huntsvilleal #hsval

The 2025 Backpack Campaign is off to a great start! We want to keep that momentum going so here's a Top 10 list of things to remember when supporting this year's campaign: 💗 Our 2025 goal is 1,700 backpacks and runs through May 30th. 💗 Donations beyond this goal will support the relocation of Mertarvik, an Alaskan village threatened by rising sea levels and coastal erosion. 💗 Regardless of when we reach the backpack goal, all aspects of the campaign will continue through May 30th, including raffle giveaways and competitions for top team and top donor. 💗 Donating to a team is not required, however if you’d like your donation to go towards a team total, be sure to select the team your support under “Select Your Team” and add to your cart. If you are not purchasing for a team, select "N/A" under team selection. 💗 Every $15 donation enters you into the weekly raffle drawings. Donate early for the best chances to win! (Donors who don't work at Yulista are eligible for raffle prizes too!) 💗 Team Yulista donors whose cumulative campaign donations total $100 or more, are entered to win MEGA raffles at the end of the campaign. 💗 There are also amazing prizes for the Top Team and the Top Individual Donors. 💗 Each backpack kit is only $15. 💗 Donate online at bit.ly/ycbc2025 💗 Follow along on the campaign's progress at yulista.com/yulista-backpack-campaign Questions?

Trisha Hancock has been a standout at Yulista for nearly five years. Starting as Mike’s Executive Assistant, she quickly advanced to Aviation Office Manager, where she oversees travel, logistics, and purchase orders for six subsidiaries, driving our success. Her community involvement is equally impressive. She led the #YulistaCARES program for three years, providing support to communities in Huntsville and Alaska. Now, she co-presides over the Young Professional Advisory Council at the @ncac_hsv, which focuses on child abuse prevention. Trisha's dedication and skills make her an invaluable asset to #TeamYulista. #ACE #YulistaMIM #ACEEOQ

Since 2014, Yulista has provided school supplies and backpacks to the Calista Region in Alaska and to Madison County here in Alabama. Our goal this year was to provide 1000 backpacks; we met our goal of donating 500 to Alaska and 500 to schools and agencies in Madison County. One of those local agencies was the National Children’s Advocacy Center. We were excited to deliver the backpacks and hope that this small donation will make a difference for the children in our communities. ⠀ #YulistaCares #NCAC
