Opening Events Sponsorships

To celebrate finally pulling the curtains back on our new York County History Center building, we are working on several opening festivities throughout the summer. The events include the Gala on June 22, Member Open Houses on June 26 – 28, and a grand public celebration the first weekend in August, starting on First Friday Aug. 2 and running through that Sunday. To support these activities and help the History Center start on the best footing we are seeking sponsorships for these activities. There are several opportunities for ‘umbrella’ sponsorships or ‘A La Carte’ opportunities listed below.

If you want to join us, contact Allysa Turner at 717-848-1587 ext. 226 or by email at aturner@yorkhistorycenter.org.

Or download the Pledge of Support form here, print it out and email it to Allysa.
