One week on from the launch of our campaign to buy a minibus for our youth team and we’ve made great progress toward our fundraising goal. Thanks to everyone who has bought tickets for the prize draw, and a generous donation from York Minstermen we’ve already raised more than £3,900 towards our £20,000 target!
The Youth Team is the lifeblood of our club’s future, nurturing the next generation of players who will one day wear the York City jersey with pride. By investing in a new minibus, we are not just purchasing a vehicle—we are investing in the potential and development of our young players. This minibus will ensure that they have reliable transportation to training sessions and matches, allowing them to focus on what really matters: improving their skills and representing our club to the best of their ability.
There are great prizes to be won in the draw, with more yet to be announced. For every £5 donated, supporters will receive one entry into the draw, with no limit on how many times you can enter. Donations of any amount over £5 are welcome, but only full increments of £5 will count as an entry. The more you donate, the higher your chances of winning one of these unique prizes:
- Take Training with Adam Hinshelwood (York City FC Manager)
- Attend a Press Conference and ask questions for the club’s social media
- Present the YCST Player of the Month award or YCST Goal of the Month award for September
- Signed City Memorabilia – A piece of York City memorabilia signed by the squad.
- Signed Ball – Another collector’s item, signed by the team.
- Pick songs for a match day playlist – Have your music choices heard by all at the next home game!
- And much more!
The prize draw is now closed. Winners will be drawn at the Trust Social at Brew York on Wednesday Oct 2nd, and announced on the website.
