FROM THE UNITED WAY OF THE SOUTHERN TIER: Tickets are now available for United Way of the Southern Tier’s Community Awards Dinner, which will be held Thursday, April 30, at the Corning Museum of Glass.
“This year’s theme, ‘Every Drop Counts’, captures the true spirit behind the evening. It’s a reminder that meaningful change happens through the collective efforts of individuals, businesses, and partners across our community. As we open ticket sales, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating that impact and recognizing that every act of generosity plays a role in building a stronger Southern Tier,” said United Way CEO Maleaha Smith.
Kennedy Valve is the presenting sponsor for the awards dinner, which will honor individuals and organizations that lift up our community. Award winners will be announced soon.
Tickets for the awards dinner are $80 each and include a complimentary cocktail reception and a choice of meal (Roasted New York Strip Loin, Basil Pesto Grilled Salmon, or Eggplant Napoleon), salad, and dessert.
