Community Day Exceeds Expectations: A Heartfelt Thanks to Our Community

Jose Sanchez is a veteran volunteer, selling papers every year to benefit our United Way.

What an incredible Community Day we had this year! Thanks to the support and generosity of our community, we are thrilled to announce that we raised an impressive $3,914, surpassing last year's total of $3,650. 

This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication and spirit of our volunteers and supporters.

We sold approximately 1,800 papers, and seven of our corners completely sold out – a true reflection of the community's enthusiasm and commitment to our cause.

This Year’s Gold Cone Winners

We’re also excited to share the news of our new Gold Cone winner. The group stationed at 1st and Main in Allegany set a new benchmark by raising $592! A huge round of applause goes to the stellar team of volunteers there: Al Bernstein, Paula Bernstein, Paula Scraba, Nikki Wiseman, and James McAuley. Their hard work and dedication truly shone through.

The Silver Cone award goes to the corner of Front and Main in Olean, where volunteers raised an impressive $558. Kudos to the fantastic team of John Clark, Jose Sanchez, Kirk Windus, and Monica Emery for their incredible efforts.

Success Through Support

This year’s success wouldn’t have been possible without the collective effort of all our volunteers and the generous contributions from everyone who purchased a paper. Your support enables the United Way of Cattaraugus County to continue funding essential programs and services that make a significant difference in our community.

Thank you once again for your incredible support. We look forward to making next year’s Community Day even more successful.
