Mike Yakes gives gifts to the children to distribute to the anxious residents.

The Michael J. Yakes (MY) Foundation donated a portion of the proceeds from a recent fundraiser to buy holiday gifts for residents at Gulfport’s Boca Ciega Center. As part of the foundation’s gift, several of the residents also took a tour of holiday light displays through Gulfport and St. Petersburg.

“I am very proud to be part of this group. It takes a community to care for our seniors, and here we did just that,” said MY foundation chairperson and former Gulfport mayor, Mike Yakes.
