Each year, the York U community comes together in support of the United Way. This year’s goal is $185,000. Funds raised through the York Cares United Way Campaign benefit important local agencies and programs – some of which impact York U’s programs and students directly.
This year’s campaign kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 31. Dedicated events to support the campaign will take place across campus throughout November.
