Community is strongest when it shows up.
On Tuesday, April 21st beginning at 4 PM, Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse in Utica will host this special Evening of Giving, where all proceeds from the dinner will benefit Upstate Caring Partners. Reservations are encouraged for what promises to be a meaningful night of connection, generosity, and impact.
Founded in 1950 by family members who recognized the need for services dedicated to children with cerebral palsy in the greater Mohawk Valley, Upstate Caring Partners has grown into a comprehensive organization supporting individuals of all abilities across their lifespan. Today, the organization provides innovative programs for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as behavioral health and substance use services, guided by values of excellence, integrity, and respect.
“This collaboration is exactly what makes our community strong,” said Geno DeCondo, Executive Director of Upstate Caring Partners. “When local businesses step forward to champion inclusion, it amplifies our mission in ways we could never achieve alone. We are grateful for Delmonico’s who recognize the importance of investing in the people we serve and who support us in helping to build a more connected community.”
For Mohawk Valley Living, this partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to highlighting organizations that strengthen the fabric of our region. When businesses and nonprofits come together, real change happens. Programs are sustained. Families are supported. Opportunities are expanded.
For Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse, giving back is not an afterthought. It is woven into the culture of the brand and the values of the Wade family. Supporting local organizations, investing in community partnerships, and using their platform to uplift meaningful causes has long been part of their philosophy. Hosting an Evening of Giving in support of Upstate Caring Partners is a natural extension of that commitment to service, generosity, and connection.
Guests who attend on April 21st will enjoy an evening out while directly investing in inclusive services right here in the Mohawk Valley. If you are unable to attend, donations can be made at:
Because giving back begins with a choice to show up.
And when we do, our entire community benefits.
