Archbishop of San Francisco honors Yorks

SAN FRANCISCO -- Denise and John York and the San Francisco 49ers will be honored by the archbishop of San Francisco, the Most Rev. William J. Levada, for their "Outstanding Corporate Philanthropy."
They are to be honored at the eighth annual Loaves & amp; Fishes Awards Dinner today at the Merchants Exchange Building's historic Julia Morgan Ballroom. The Honorable Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco, will introduce the Yorks at the black-tie affair.

All proceeds from the awards dinner benefit the programs of Catholic Charities CYO. The event has raised more than $3.5 million for Catholic Charities CYO.
