Robichau’s Jewelry named Community Partner Honoree for 2026 YES to YOUTH Gala supporting at-risk youth

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Robichau’s Jewelry has been named the Community Partner Honoree of the 2026 YES to YOUTH gala, recognizing more than a decade of philanthropic support that has helped generate significant funding for at-risk youth across Montgomery County.

A longstanding community partner, Robichau’s Jewelry has contributed custom-designed pieces to the gala’s live auction since 2014, helping raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support YES to YOUTH’s programs and services.

Founded in 1986 by Jack and Lynda Robichau and now led by their sons John, Jason, and Matt, the family-owned business has built a reputation not only for fine jewelry, but for sustained community involvement. The store is located in The Woodlands’ Panther Creek Shopping Center.

YES to YOUTH has served vulnerable youth and families for more than 47 years, providing crisis intervention, counseling, and suicide prevention services. Through its BridgeWay Youth Shelter, the organization offers a safe, supportive environment for children ages 10 to 17 facing abuse, neglect, homelessness, and trafficking.

The 2026 gala, themed “Every Child Deserves an Ever After,” will highlight the organization’s mission to strengthen the emotional and mental health of youth and families.

“For more than a decade, Robichau’s Jewelry has been a shining partner in advancing our mission,” said Michele Kooken, CEO of YES to YOUTH. “Since 2014, their generous donation of stunning live auction pieces has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of our mission. Their commitment is not just philanthropic; it is transformational. Robichau’s reminds us that when a community invests consistently and wholeheartedly, ‘Every Child Deserves an Ever After’ becomes more than a theme; it becomes a reality.”

John Robichau added, “We are deeply honored to be recognized by YES to YOUTH. Supporting this organization has been meaningful for our family and our business. We’ve seen firsthand the difference these programs make, and we are proud to play a role in helping local children find safety, stability, and hope.”

The annual gala is expected to draw approximately 500 community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters, with proceeds directly benefiting youth services across Montgomery County.
