The York Sport Union Challenge Week is a time-limited online fundraising challenge commencing 9am GMT on Saturday 9th March 2024 and running until 20.59.59pm GMT Sunday 17th March.
It is a chance for 15 sports clubs at York to have the support of the University of York community, wherever they are in the world, to help increase opportunities and improve access for all. Every gift counts, from every person.
In short, the York Sport Union Challenge Week gives you the opportunity to make a lasting difference to students at York, both current and future.

All you have to do is give! Every gift counts, no matter how big or small. You can also share your support on social media using #YorkChallengeWeek or by tagging us @uoyalumni, and you can also share your support with classmates, friends, family and colleagues to get them involved too.
