Making Strides Against Breast Cancer – A Collective Service Project for All Yeo & Yeo Employees

Each year, the Yeo Young Professionals group hosts a firm-wide service initiative. As the Yeo Young Professionals service chair for the Yeo & Yeo Foundation, I am leading this year’s service project to benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Participating in Making Strides walks has always been important for our employees. I was invited to the walks from the first year I joined the firm. Seeing our employees’ passion and hearing about their personal connections to the organization inspired me to make it our main event this year.

The Making Strides movement raises life-saving funds for breast cancer patients, survivors, thrivers, and caregivers. To show our support of the movement, all Yeo & Yeo employees have been encouraged to bring their friends and families to Making Strides walks across Michigan. Yeo & Yeo teams will participate in six walks – Making Strides of the Great Lakes Bay Region, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Oakland and Macomb Counties, and West Michigan. Our YPs will also do fundraising activities leading up to the walks and volunteering.

It has been a blast helping to coordinate the teams. I am excited to lead the Young Professionals service project and support such a great cause.

I give back because I want to offer a collective service opportunity to everyone at Yeo & Yeo.
