York College announced today the success of its community campaign with a final gift
total of $2.33 million raised, exceeding the original goal by nearly $150,000.
The community response has been outstanding,” campaign chair C. G. "Kelly" Holthus said. “The volunteers working in this campaign wanted to make a statement to the college about its value to us and I think we've done just that."
Donations have benefited the college's two new facilities, the Clayton Museum of Ancient History and the Bartholomew Performing Arts Center, along with Freeman Center landscaping, the athletic program and the college's Opportunity Scholarship Fund. The Clayton Museum is scheduled to open with much fanfare this Saturday in conjunction with Yorkfest. The performing arts center will open in 2016.
