ANNUAL FUND 2013/2014
WHAT IS THE ANNUAL FUND?
The Annual Fund is the primary means of fundraising at The York School. The fund is an accumulation of hundreds of donations from our loyal parents, past parents, alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends. By giving to the Annual Fund you are enhancing our curricular and co-curricular programmes and enriching the student experience beyond what tuition provides.
