THANK YOU MR. & MRS. GURAL

On Thursday, August 9^th Tioga United Way, Inc. will hold a press conference to thank Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Gural for their generosity and support of our organization and community. The press conference will take place at 2 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom at Tioga Downs Casino Resort.

The Tioga United Way’s Dancing United with the Starz fundraiser took place at Tioga Downs last December, and the Gurals generously offered to match whatever was raised at the event. With the tremendous help of the Gurals, the event brought in more than $100,000.

“This singular donation is being distributed across all of our 34 wonderful agencies,” said Carolyn Palladino, Executive Director.  “Some will use it toward specific needs such as new freezers at our food pantries, appliances in our shelters, and books for our children.  While others will use it toward updating electrical systems, staff & volunteer training, as well as new programming.”  

The Board of Directors of the Tioga United Way hope that the Gurals will recognize that their financial support stretches far and wide across Tioga County and that they are truly making a difference in the lives of those in need.

The event will also showcase three agencies supported by the Tioga United Way: Owego Gymnastics & Activity Center, Spencer Van Etten Community Food Cupboard and Camp Ahwaga.
