GLY365 in action! Lebanon Cemetery - York, PA, a historic resting place for many African-American families, has recently been struck by acts of vandalism in mid-May 2024 and urgently needs to connect with the community for support. The estimated damage from toppled stones alone is approximately $5,000. We got them quickly up and running on GLY365 and now they need your help! Can you support this important piece of York history? https://lnkd.in/eecCEy7A

Last year, we renamed the Give Local York Nonprofit Participant Scholarship, "The Stephanie Seaton Scholarship" in honor of our beloved board member and York Federal Fellow Class of 2010, Stephanie Seaton. This scholarship is supported by our Scholarship Sponsor, White Rose Credit Union, and covers the registration fee for 10 nonprofit organizations for whom the registration fee would present a financial barrier to participating. This year, the 18 Stephanie Seaton Scholarship recipients are: Tabby trappers pa Chasing the Rainbows Eastern York Recreation Authority Friendship Hose Co. #1 Harlow’s Haven Cat Rescue The Emigsville Band Wake the Beast 4 Paws 4 A Cause American Veterans Honor & Reflective Remembrance Committee M.O.R.E. for Furry Friends Boys Club of York Crazy Critter Crick Farm and Sanctuary York Polar Bears SHINE Music Foundation Right Foot Ranch, Inc.
