TheLiveBigWay® Digest: Give Big
Dear Readers,
Earlier this year, we began our exploration of The BIGs, YeskeBuie‘s six core values that were co-created by our team. After a review of Client Big and Be Big, we turn outward and dig into what it means to Give Big.
Long before Give Big had a name, it had a shape. Elissa and Dave balanced serving Clients and volunteer leadership throughout their careers. Goodness was never something they performed. It was simply who they were, and what they looked for in everyone who joined the team. Why? Because…
We believe sharing unconditionally is the path to abundance.
This instinct shows up… abundantly… within the firm today. It’s in our support of Clients’ charitable giving strategies and our year-end gifts to local charities in honor of our Clients. It’s in the time we spend teaching kids about financial literacy and mentoring the next generation of planners. And it’s in our defined pro bono initiatives and even in playful initiatives like our Give Big Super Bowl Games. The more we give of ourselves, the more we grow and contribute to building a better version of the world we live in and advancing our profession.
In this edition of the Digest, we’re taking a closer look at what Give Big means, how it informs our work with you, and how it impacts our professional and personal communities. This edition also comes with a detailed update on our 2026 pro bono efforts.
Give Big has a way of multiplying. Give an hour, a dollar, a piece of expertise, and somehow what comes back is bigger than what went out: planners who serve you better, a more deeply connected team, a firmer sense of purpose, and a community that notices when we show up. That’s the abundance we keep circling back to.
We’ll keep giving our time, talent, and treasure, and we’ll keep sharing about the values that drive everything we do in service of you. The next volume in this series is already taking shape, and we hope you’ll stay with us along this journey.
Take care,
The YeskeBuie Team
