With her expertise in utilizing social media, Rabiya will play a key role in increasing YCCF’s online presence. Through a combination of marketing and events, she’ll provide opportunities to ensure people from across York County understand how combining gifts with those of like-minded donors and growing those gifts overtime can create a lasting impact for generations to come.
