United Way would like to thank donors who have continually supported the organization over the years. To recognize these individuals, United Way of the Valley and the Greater Utica Area has successfully launched a new initiative called the Diamond Society. This Society honors those people who have given to any United Way for twenty-five years or more.

To honor local donors for their continued support, our United Way recognized individuals who identified themselves as being United Way donors for 25 years or more. Along with enjoying lunch at the historic Hotel Utica, the honorees were each presented with a United Way Diamond Society Pin, which featured a gemstone corresponding to their level of giving.
