 Trailblazer RV, located in Nisku, has been lending YESS a very helpful hand for quite some time now. Thanks to the unwavering support of Keith Graham, owner of Trailblazer RV, and his staff, YESS has been able to enhance some of our events to raise funds for youth at risk. “Seldom youth are in the situation they’re in through their own choosing,” says Graham. “People shy away from this group of youth, and we wanted to change that.” Trailblazer RV has gone above the call of duty on several occasions for YESS, even by making other businesses aware of current needs and encouraging them to provide support. “The more involved we became, the more we wanted to get involved,” adds Graham. “The partnership has been really good.” They are truly one of the Society’s greatest ambassadors. Just recently, Trailblazer RV committed to becoming the title sponsor of Steppin’ Out 2007, “We’re hoping the partnership will help grow Steppin’ Out both financially and by raising awareness,” says Graham. “In the next few years we want to create a high profile and profitable event that benefits the Youth Emergency Shelter Society even more.” YESS could not be more thrilled!

Inland Audio Visual has been providing audiovisual services in Western Canada since 1937; it now offers comprehensive audiovisual services from five locations including Edmonton. When YESS needed audiovisual services for their events, Inland quickly came on board and donated audiovisual services to each YESS event in 2006. Inland also played a very significant role during a third party golf tournament last year. Along with Co-Op Taxi and Four Points Sheraton, Inland raised funds on behalf of YESS. Now, YESS is pleased to announce that it has customized a sponsorship package specifically for Inland Audio Visual. The sponsorship package is a win-win situation for YESS and Inland. YESS will not have to worry about audiovisual services at any events over the next four years and the Inland is able to meet its commitment to the community and to not-for-profit organizations too! This valuable contribution means that YESS resources will be available where they are needed – with at risk youth. And, event attendees will benefit from some of the best audiovisual services around!

With a recently completed full inventory development and valuation, combined with the development of over 60 stock packages encompassing 5 major events, naming rights, program association and more, YESS is finding new and renewed success in the marketplace. In addition to having completed the development of the tools noted above as well as the implementation of the Partnership Group’s copyrighted Sponsorship Management System© (SMS) for better management of sponsor data base, inventory, custom and stock packages and fulfillment, the Partnership Group is working one on one with Development Manager Louise Hovelson and her team over a long term period to build and ensure strong internal capacity for their sponsorship program. Over the past couple of months with the implementation of the new tools and inventory Louise and her team have renewed several enhanced event sponsorships and secured several new naming and event sponsorships. Louise has done this through customized development of programs to meet the specific needs of YESS’s sponsors. She has truly developed strategic partnerships that provide measurable value with such key sponsors as EVELINE CHARLES SALONS AND SPAS, IMPARK, TRAILBLAZER RV, OOPS Design, Edmonton City Centre Mall and others to deliver them great value and ensure ongoing and renewable sponsorship revenue generation to the bottom line of the organization. These revenues, combined with donations, gifts in kind and other funding ensure that YESS can continue to deliver the programs and services they offer to Edmonton’s troubled youth. Well done Louise, keep up the great work you and YESS do for our community.
