Robichau’s Jewelry has been named the Community Partner Honoree for the 2026 YES to YOUTH gala, recognizing more than a decade of philanthropic support benefiting at-risk youth across Montgomery County.
The family-owned business, founded in 1986 by Jack and Lynda Robichau and now led by their sons John, Jason, and Matt, has contributed to the nonprofit’s fundraising efforts since 2014. Through the donation of live-auction pieces, the jeweler has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support youth services.
“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. “Their commitment is not just philanthropic; it is transformational.”
Robichau’s Jewelry operates out of The Woodlands’ Panther Creek Shopping Center and has built a reputation for both fine jewelry and sustained community involvement.
YES to YOUTH, which has served vulnerable youth and families for more than 47 years, provides crisis intervention, counseling, and suicide prevention services. Its BridgeWay Youth Shelter offers a safe 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 in the region.
John Robichau said, “We are deeply honored that YES to YOUTH has recognized us.” “We’ve seen firsthand the difference these programs make, and we are proud helping local children find safety, stability, and hope.”
The annual event is expected to draw approximately 500 community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters. Proceeds from the gala will directly benefit youth services throughout Montgomery County.
The organizers will announce additional details about the event, including the date and venue, at a later time.
