York Family Kicks Off Spring Giving Campaign with Leadership Gift

High Point, NC – Greg and Caren York have made a generous gift to High Point Rowing Club, the team’s founder Gene Kininmonth has announced. Greg and Caren are parents of Charles York, a sophomore student on the men’s varsity crew.

“I am extremely grateful to the York Family for the trust they have placed in this very new rowing program by making this leadership gift,” said Kininmonth. “The city of High Point is extremely fortunate to have Greg and Caren York and their family as residents.”

Thanks to the York family’s philanthropic leadership, High Point Rowing Club received over $20,000 in gifts from parents of the youth team in April. The funds will be used to add a much needed shell to the fleet.
