The Polar Bear Foundation was founded in 2007 to secure monetary gifts to supplement funds for student activities and programs and initiatives that are outside of the regular operating budget.

​

The Polar Bear Foundation (PBF) is registered with the IRS as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational foundation.  We provide financial support to K-12 students and staff in the Northern York County School District, a public school serving residents of the greater Dillsburg area.

​

The PBF is able to help make good things happen for our schools and students by organizing special events and through the generous donations of individuals, groups, and corporations
