How One East Coast Capital Leader Turned a Personal Story Into a Community Movement

Regional Director Jon Yellon founded Outlaws for a Cause to support families affected by autism. Today, East Coast Capital is proud to serve as the event's Headline Sponsor.

For most people, a concert is simply a night of great music. 

For East Coast Capital Regional Director Jon Yellon, it became an opportunity to create something much bigger. 

Inspired by his family’s experience growing up with a sister on the autism spectrum, Jon founded Outlaws for a Cause, a nonprofit organization that brings people together through live performances by nationally recognized, award-winning outlaw country and Americana artists from Austin, Texas, while raising funds and awareness for autism. What began as a deeply personal mission has grown into one of Hilton Head Island’s most anticipated charitable events, making a meaningful impact for local families year after year. 

This year, East Coast Capital is honored to support that mission as the Headline Sponsor of the 2026 Outlaws for a Cause Benefit Concert. While we are passionate about helping individuals and families achieve the dream of homeownership, we are equally committed to supporting the people and causes that strengthen the communities we serve. Sponsoring this event is especially meaningful because it was founded by one of our own.

A Night of Great Music for an Even Greater Cause

On Saturday, October 10th, 2026, the Hilton Head community will come together at Captain Woody’s Bar & Grill for an evening of live country and Americana music, all in support of the Lowcountry Autism Foundation (LAF). 

2026 Artist Lineup
  • • Dale Watson & His Lonestars featuring Celine Lee (Headliner)  
  • • Ed Jurdi & Gordy Quist of The Band of Heathens  
  • • Ellis Bullard  

Whether you are a longtime country music fan or simply looking for a memorable night out, every ticket purchased helps support an incredible cause.

Supporting the Lowcountry Autism Foundation

Proceeds from this year’s concert benefit the Lowcountry Autism Foundation (LAF), a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with autism and their families throughout the Lowcountry. 

LAF provides programs, educational resources, caregiver support, recreational opportunities, and community services that help families navigate every stage of the autism journey. Their mission is to ensure that no family has to face autism alone. 

By attending Outlaws for a Cause, guests are doing more than enjoying a great concert. They are helping fund programs and services that make a lasting difference for local children, adults, and families.
