Founder
Thank you for your interest and support of Yhim. We have big plans for its future…think blue in June as you now think pink in February and May.
Yhim will look to celebrate life by raising funds and building awareness year-round, focusing efforts around Fathers' Day weekend. Although Yhim was inspired by the passing of one father on Fathers' Day, cancer does not discriminate nor will our efforts. 100% of the funds raised support cutting edge research that will impact us ALL.

History
Yhim was inspired by one special father, Joseph S. Jerbich. Like so many before him, in the Spring of 2000, Joseph was diagnosed with cancer which eventually took him on Fathers' Day 2002. To mark the tenth anniversary of Joseph's passing his son Michael, with the help of loving family and friends, established Yhim in honor of his father's memory.

With your help, Yhim will strive to eliminate cancer through partnerships with world-class health institutes and organizations. Yhim is a not-for-profit organization with 100% of proceeds going to cancer research.
