Did you know that in the United States, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes?

At The Standard Group, we are Thinking Pink and proudly raising awareness for breast cancer. Early detection saves lives, and together we’re helping make a difference.

This year, our employees participated in a fundraising initiative, donating to receive a pink Breast Cancer Awareness t-shirt. Through their generosity, we raised $1,300 to help fund groundbreaking research and support the fight against breast cancer.

A college viewbook is often the first—and most lasting—impression for prospective students. York College of Pennsylvania set out to create one that was bold, modern, and true to its campus culture.

Partnering with Skelton Sprouls and The Standard Group, YCP reimagined its flagship viewbook with dynamic design, precise brand consistency, and exceptional print quality. The result is a publication that captures attention, reflects YCP’s identity, and inspires confidence in the York experience.

Congratulations to the York College marketing team and Skelton Sprouls on this standout achievement and winning The Standard Group's Excellence in Communication Award.
