VALLEY UNITED WAY ANNUAL MEETING

Thursday, May 28th, 2026 at 5:00 pm
Courtyard by Marriott in Shelton

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Valley United Way’s 2026 Annual Meeting — an inspiring evening dedicated to celebrating the partners, volunteers, donors, and community leaders who help strengthen the Valley every day. Together, we reflected on the power of collaboration, heard from our Youth Leadership students, honored outstanding leadership, and looked ahead to the future of our work.

We were proud to welcome keynote speaker Alexia Savage, SVP of Global Network Advancement. In her current role, she provides support to all 1,000 United Ways across the United States, helping them access tools, resources, and best practices to achieve their mission. She shared valuable insights on the future of United Way and the evolving role of nonprofits in building thriving communities. We were also honored to present the Charles H. Flynn Humanitarian Award to Ramon Peralta in recognition of his extraordinary leadership, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and commitment to community impact. A special thank you to all of our sponsors, especially Griffin Health, for helping make this meaningful evening possible.
