We look forward to seeing you again in 2026 for another fantastic tournament and auction! •
FIRST PLACE TEAM YAK AUCTION AND FUNDRAISING
The YAK Auction was a standout success, setting a new fundraising record with over $ 25,000 raised to support the Young Agents of Kansas’ initiatives. In addition, this year’ s auction helped launch YAK’ s 2025 community service project benefiting Grace’ s Guardians, a nonprofit that provides care packages to children undergoing cancer treatment. The auction raised over $ 1,000 for the cause, with a goal to raise $ 6,000 – enough to assemble 10 care packages.
THE ALTERNATIVE EVENT OUTING
To encourage donations and rally support, YAK and KAIA Board members added a fun twist:
• At $ 2,000 raised, Jordan Crow will dye her hair pink
• At $ 3,000, Haley Marsicek joins the pink club
• At $ 4,500, Dave Vogel will follow suit
• And at $ 6,000, Bryan Schmitz will shave his head into a mohawk and dye it pink!
