SPONSOR A SPECIAL EVENT IN THE CITY OF YORK
The 2010 York City Special Events campaign is underway. York City encourages businesses and individuals to sponsor a special event in the City. We are seeking not only sponsors but volunteers. These sponsorships allow the events to be free and open to all and allow the City to use no tax dollars for their implementation. These events are just some of the many reasons that York is such a great place to live, work, and play. For more information on how you can help with the Special Events Fundraising Campaign, call York City Special Events at 717-849-2217 or email events@yorkcity.org CLICK HERE FOR 2010 FRIENDS CONTRIBUTOR LIST
