Fundraising

NY2NO is constantly having fundraisers to raise money for financial aid, our trips, and our projects. So it is of paramount importance that we get a lot of support at these fundraisers. Our fundraisers are very diverse and range from music shows with many different types of bands and artists to adult fundraisers where art and food is sold. NY2NO fundraisers are known for being a great time, so check them out!
