Thank You for Your Support

|
As we begin to finish up 2018 and embark on this new year, we reflect back on the generous alumni, parents, and community friends like yourselves who have continued to support our school throughout the last 90 years.
We know that you have many choices for your charitable giving and we ask that you prayerfully consider our annual fund and capital campaign for your year-end gifts.
The York Catholic Fund
The YC Fund not only supports every student by enriching extra-curricular programs and music and the arts, but also provides professional development for teachers, academic program support, athletic programs, technology, special projects, and covers operating expenditures. This year, we have a fundraising goal of $300,000 by June 30, 2019.

Giving Tree

December 19.
Coat Drive
The National Honor Society is collecting gently used coats for their Coat Drive. A collection box will be in the lobby until
December 19. The coats will be donated to the Catholic Harvest Food Pantry.
Toy Drive
Students are currently collecting Christmas presents for the children who are patients at Hershey Medical Center, in remembrance of Jacob Gurrerri. Parents of the children at Hershey will be able to choose some gifts and have them "delivered" on Christmas Eve.
Chris Gurreri, a YC graduate, is coordinating this toy drive in memory of his brother Jacob, who was five-years-old when he died. This is the 13th year anniversary of his death. The Gurreri family was fortunate enough to stay in the Ronald McDonald House during the three weeks that Jacob was being treated at Hershey Medical Center.
 The Ronald McDonald House offers the following gift ideas (MUST be new, unwrapped items in original box):
- Stuffed animals
- Coloring books and crayons/markers
- Books
- Board games
- Children's movies
- Action figures
- Dolls
- Legos
- Christmas stockings with stocking stuffer items
- Blankets
Students are asked to have all toys to their homerooms by the morning of
Tuesday, December 18, at 8:15 AM. Thank you for your generosity this holiday season in helping to make Christmas a little brighter for the children who are in the hospital.
