York Catholic Fund
Supports YC Students |
For over 90 years, York Catholic has offered our students a competitive, top notch education. This education extends outside of academics; YC students are encouraged to form habits of service to live out their faith in their everyday lives. While students are only required to complete minimal service hours (12-16 hours depending on their grade), many students volunteer beyond this. The Class of 2020 completed over 15,242 hours of community service!

With less than 2 weeks remaining in our school's fiscal year, we turn to our generous alumni, parents, and community friends and ask you to prayerfully consider giving to our York Catholic Fund. Our goal this year is $300,000 which we hope to achieve by
June 30
. These funds not only support every student by enriching extra-curricular programs, music, and the arts, but also provides professional development for teachers, academic program support, athletic programs, technology, special projects, and covers operating expenditures.
Every gift, whatever the amount, counts and is truly valued. Please use the return envelope that was included in your Spring issue of
Greensleeves or click on the Make a Difference button below to use our online donation page.
As always, thank you for your continued support of YC!
