#YCPGives makes us Spartan Strong
Each February, York College hosts #YCPGives, a marathon day of giving in support of York College students. This year, we are striving to raise $230,000 to ensure our students can continue to receive a distinctive education that transcends the classroom and prepares them not only for their careers, but for lives of purpose.
