Thanks to 592 generous donors and 28 corporate sponsors, our 2025 Invest in Youth Breakfast raised an incredible $1,002,517 to support youth mental health and substance use services across East King County.

We came close to our ambitious $1.1 million goal, and we’re so grateful to every person who showed up, whether you gave, hosted a table, shared your story, or helped cheer us on. You are helping youth and families access the care they need.

From start to finish, the morning was full of resilience, connection, and hope. We heard moving personal stories from YES clients and families, witnessed a powerful spoken word performance by Seattle Youth Poet Laureate and YES client Janae, and were inspired by a heartfelt conversation between Mayim Bialik and Elisa Jaffe on mental health, parenting, and healing.

As public funding shifts and demand for services grows, your support means more than ever. Together, we’re making sure young people have a place to turn in their hardest moments.
