Our friend, Daniel Yakovleff, was brutally taken from us in January 2008. In his honor we are dedicated to support the community Dan loved to be a part of. The Daniel Yakovleff Memorial Fund was formed in December 2008 in order to raise awareness and funds in an effort to address important and pressing issues among the LGBTQ community in Boston.
Please feel free to contact us with any question, comment, or suggestions you may have regarding the organization.
Any information we have regarding the case can be found under the News tab.

Elle Jarvis, President
A perpetual student and active member in the South End community, Elle knew Dan purely from the neighborhood. The friendship between Dan and Elle that started at a local hang out eventually led to weekly haircuts in her kitchen and impromptu dinner parties where laughs were abundant.
