Thanks to all the volunteers who braved windy, cloudy weather on Saturday and helped make Forster Street look great! Over 40 people came out to help to pull weeds, pick up trash, and spread mulch. We couldn’t have done it without all their support!!
We would like to send a special thank you to the following partners for making this event a success:
  • Senator Jeff Piccola
  • PennDOT
  • City of Harrisburg
  • Garrason's Tavern

 

Thanks again to everyone who participated! See you all in the fall!!!

 

HYP Real Estimate Seminar photos

HYP held its first ever homebuyers seminar on September 15, 2009 to highlight the convenience and sophistication that city living can offer. The program featured presentations from realtors and developers, including Riverview Manor, to showcase for-sale housing in the City of Harrisburg. A second panel, including mortgage, insurance and home improvement experts, were on hand to discuss the home-buying process.

Guests also had the opportunity to tour the homes and amenities at Riverview Manor.

Thank you to our generous sponsors Green Street Properties; Andrew Lick, RSR Realtors; and Riverview Manor.

Race Through Harrisburg

Over 50 participants took part in the Harrisburg Young Professionals (HYP) charity event, "Race Through Harrisburg," based on the popular CBS reality show The Amazing Race on October 25, 2008. The Race kicked off at Harrisburg University's Student Center and finished at Molly Brannigans. Teams received clues that guided them to businesses and historic sites in Harrisburg. The Green Team, Jen Scaringi, Ryan Buehner and Tammy Fox, scored the highest number of points in the shortest time to win first place. Chris Zeigler, Ralph Vartan, Megan McGowan and Mandy Watts of the Red Team came in second place. The Blue Team, Rob Taylor, Pat Shaughnessy, Dan Lyons and David Chu, came in a close third.

 

HYP President Wendell Hoover presented Downtown Daily Bread, a soup kitchen that provides hot, nutritious meals to the needy in Harrisburg, with a check for $1,400 in honor of its 25th anniversary. Proceeds also benefited the HYP Mural Project, which is a partnership with Harrisburg University and Barak, Inc. to offer students the opportunity to work with professional artists to create a mural to illustrate why they have chosen to pursue degrees in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
