To quote Akana's Company Vision, "Akana aims to be the most valued small-business partner to all its current and prospective clients and to the communities we engage."

This holiday season, Akana would like to benefit one of the communities we engage and raise funds for Lummi Nation Boys and Girls Club. Akana intends to raise funds to benefit the children of Lummi Boys and Girls Club and will coordinate with the club's director to determine the club members' greatest needs whether they be purchasing Christmas gifts for the children, supplies for the club, or gift funding for club improvements.

The PEER Committee invites you to donate to Akana's fundraiser for this tribal organization in an effort to uphold our company vision and values. We have an opportunity to give a little joy and relief where it is needed most this holiday season. Thank you!
