Special Events

The York Health Foundation manages many special events held within WellSpan Health.  The purpose of all Foundation fundraising events is to increase awareness of the mission and charitable purpose of the York Health Foundation and the event beneficiary, to promote the organizational priorities of WellSpan, to produce substantial positive net proceeds for the charitable WellSpan beneficiary of each event, and to positively enhance the awareness and public role of WellSpan within the community.
