Our 2018 YorIt Social Venture Live Pitch is in books and what a special event it was! With more than 100 people in attendance and many more tuning in on our Facebook live stream and on our local broadcast of White Rose Television, our four finalists did an outstanding job with their live pitches. Our keynote, Matt Stinchcomb's mission at the Good Work Institute is to educate and connect a network of local community members and actively support their collaborative efforts to regenerate their places, and that couldn't have more true for what YorIt and those in attendance wish to do for York as well.
