Our York Suburban family lost a pillar of our community recently. Dr. Phillip Avillo, Jr. was an outstanding community leader who was elected to the York Suburban School Board of Directors for three terms, serving seven years as president. He also served as a member of the East York Elementary Parent Teachers Association and the York Suburban Dollars for Scholars program.
Dr. Avillo was very involved in his children’s lives, Andrew (class of 1991), Stephen (class of 1993) and Susan (class of 1997) and became a coach and mentor to countless other YS alumni over the years.
A proud veteran who served our country, Dr. Avillo was also a strong advocate for education. Please consider making a gift to the York Suburban Education Foundation in his memory. While it was Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) that took him from this world too soon, we can honor Dr. Avillo by making a lasting impact on York Suburban students in his name.
