CLARKSVILLE, TN – YAIPAK will host The YAIPAK Social, their biggest fundraiser of the year, on Tuesday, May 5, at the YAIPAK warehouse as the organization marks 10 years of serving individuals and families in need.
The event will bring community members together for an evening supporting YAIPAK’s ongoing mission through its four pillars: Project Foster Hope, Project Patriot Hope, Project Rebuild Hope, and Be The Hope. Guests will enjoy food from Project 2231, along with a silent auction, live auction, and ticket auction.
The YAIPAK Social comes during a milestone year for the organization, which helped nearly 1.4 million individuals in 2025 alone. What is now a far-reaching, volunteer-driven operation began 10 years ago with six purses, one woman’s desire to make sure people knew they were not alone, and the message, “You Are Important.”
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, YAIPAK operates without government funding and relies on donations, volunteers, and community partnerships to carry out its work. Based in Clarksville, the organization serves people through outreach efforts focused on foster children, veterans, disaster response, and practical community support.
“The YAIPAK Social is an opportunity to celebrate what has been accomplished over the last 10 years and to look ahead to the work still to come,” said Sherry Nicholson, Founder/CEO. “We are grateful for a community that continues to make this mission possible.”
The event will be held at the YAIPAK warehouse, located at 1255 Paradise Hill Road, and doors open at 5:30 p.m. on the 5th.
