The Young Family Foundation Story
Over the past 75 years, YK Communications (formerly Ganado Telephone Company) has been locally owned and operated by the Young family in Ganado, Texas. In that time, the company has grown from a small telephone service provider to a full-scale communications company. In the late 1990’s, company owners Raymond Young, Royce Young, and Paula Young Kacer felt that, due to their business venture successes, they wanted to share that success with the communities they serve. On October 24, 2000, The Young Family Foundation was established to do just that.
The focus of The Young Family Foundation has been to foster the benefits of higher education by awarding academic and vocational college scholarships to worthy graduates of Ganado, Louise, Tidehaven and El Campo High Schools who reside in the YK Communications voice and broadband internet service area.
