York International is proud to have been the presenting sponsor of the 2009 and 2010 Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center Golf & Tennis Outing. Thanks to all of our friends and business partners, the events were a resounding success.

The money raised supports the many social services programs offered to the community by the Sid Jacobson JCC.
