| Amazon Smiles & Giant Support YC |
There are two places that are giving back to YC for every dollar you spend.
If you typically do any of your shopping online at amazon.com, go to www.smile.amazon.com instead and the Amazon Smile Foundation will donate .5% of eligible AmazonSmile purchases to York Catholic's Student Aid and Endowment Fund. Simply select York Catholic as the recipient of the donation when making your purchase. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know -- same products, same prices, same service -- with an added benefit for your favorite cause.
Giant's A+ School Rewards program offers schools like York Catholic a unique opportunity to receive a percentage of sales made by YC families, which supports our students' educational experiences by providing important funding. Participation in this program does not deduct personal bonus points from your individual Giant card. In fact, it allows you to leverage those hard earned (or spent) points to do good for YC! Please consider registering your bonus card account and be sure to select York Catholic as your beneficiary.
To register, go to www.giantfoodstores.com/school-rewards. Follow the prompts to create your online account. You DO NOT need to re-register your card if you have registered in previous years.
This is a great way to support YC. Every time you shop at Giant with your bonus card, you will be supporting our students. If you wish to register and would like assistance, please submit your bonus card number to Jennifer at
[email protected].
These are two great ways for YC to earn thousands in free money. Thank you for your support!

Saturday will be a special day for some of our future students as they get a chance to learn from the "big kids" at YC.
The Futures Cheer Clinic for students in grades K-6 who registered
will learn cheers, chants, and a dance. At the same time, the Futures Marching Band Camp welcomes 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students who play band instruments or who are interested in color guard. They'll play level-appropriate Marching Band music, as well as learn basic drill techniques, and basic color guard techniques with a little fun thrown in.
Those who participate this Saturday are invited to the October 13 football game to cheer with the cheerleaders on the sideline and play with the band in the stands. We look forward to welcoming the YC students of tomorrow!
