Utica, NY (August 2026) — The Good News Foundation will launch its 2026 Mohawk Valley Gives
campaign with a Kickoff Event on Wednesday, August 19, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. The kickoff event will
bring together local business leaders, community members, supporters and friends to celebrate the
power of giving and learn how they can help expand The Good News Foundation’s impact throughout the
region.
Guests will enjoy light refreshments and networking opportunities while hearing inspiring stories of hope,
healing, and transformation happening right here in the Mohawk Valley. Attendees will also learn more
about The Good News Foundation’s free support groups, faith-based programs, spiritual enrichment and
fellowship opportunities for individuals and families navigating grief, caregiving, and relationship
struggles.
