Yeo & Yeo Gives Back: Building Awareness, Hope, and Community with the Alzheimer’s Association
More than a century ago, Yeo & Yeo’s founders laid the groundwork for a culture of community service. Today, their legacy continues to thrive through the efforts of our people, including the Yeo Young Professionals (YYP) group. Each year, the YYPs lead a firm-wide service project, uniting the firm to raise funds and volunteer for a designated nonprofit organization. By taking the lead in organizing events and rallying support, these emerging leaders demonstrate that service is a powerful avenue for personal and professional growth.
This year, our YYP service project supported the Greater Michigan Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Professionals across our Yeo & Yeo companies and offices participated in Walks to End Alzheimer’s and FUNdraising initiatives, raising more than $3,400 for the cause. Combined with the $9,500 allocated by the Yeo & Yeo Foundation, the firm’s total contribution reached $13,370 in support of Alzheimer’s care and research.
“Alzheimer’s has unfortunately impacted so many of our lives,” said Michael Wilson II, CPA, Manager and Foundation Board Young Professionals Service Chair. “This firm-wide initiative gave us a chance to acknowledge those experiences while doing something positive together. It was incredible to see our people unite around such an important cause.”
Yeo & Yeo’s dedication to giving back is more than a tradition—it is a defining part of our company’s culture and identity. Established in 2018, the Yeo & Yeo Foundation is an employee-run organization dedicated to supporting charitable causes throughout Michigan. Since its inception, the Foundation has allocated funds to support the YYP service project, benefiting organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Special Olympics Michigan, and Habitat for Humanity.
This Giving Tuesday, and every day, we are proud to give our time, talent, and resources to uplift others. Beyond the Foundation’s grants and service projects, Yeo & Yeo professionals serve on numerous boards and committees throughout the state, lending their expertise to nonprofits that strengthen our communities. Additionally, through our Nonprofit Services Group, we help nonprofit organizations thrive by providing specialized accounting, audit, HR, technology, and advisory services so they can focus on advancing their missions.
Whether through volunteering, professional service, or charitable giving, the Yeo & Yeo team continues to demonstrate that community building is at the heart of who we are. This year’s YYP service project is one more example of that commitment—and a reminder that when we come together, actions create lasting impact.
