12 days of Christmas donations

12 Days of Christmas Donations

At Old Yale, we are SO PROUD to be a part of this amazing community and we want to see it continue to thrive and grow. And that just wouldn’t be possible without all the amazing non-profit organizations working as hard as they do. Last December we decided to spread some extra holiday cheer to some of these amazing organizations in our community by donating $1000 to each of them. We wouldn’t be able to do this without your continued support, so thank you!

Cheers to these awesome organizations making a difference in our community!
