Project Phil-Anthropy through the YPS Foundation

The York Public Schools Foundation is excited to announce “Project Phil-Anthropy” to honor the late, great Phil Towle, who passed away this past April. One of the many wonderful things Phil did was help those in need. He made a difference in the lives of so many York Duke students by providing them with basic items that they couldn’t always afford on their own. He often helped purchase school clothes, shoes, school supplies, prom tickets, activity passes, paid for haircuts, and lots of other items that are important to our young people.

If you’re interested in being part of “Project Phil-Anthropy” you can make out checks to the York Public Schools Foundation and mail them to York Public Schools at 1715 N. Delaware Avenue. Please put ATTN: “Project Phil-Anthropy” on the envelope and/or check.

There will also be donation buckets at our Back to School Celebration and Community Pep Rally in East Hill Park on Tuesday, August 16th from 5:30-8:30. Look for the YPS Foundation’s Ice Cream Social to make a donation in person.

All money collected will go into a fund that will purchase and provide items for students in need just like Phil would’ve done if he was still with us. A committee of school personnel and Foundation members will oversee the account and determine purchases.

Please feel free to contact any of the following YPS Foundation members with questions, comments, and/or concerns.
