Grateful and Honored!

I’m deeply humbled to receive the New York State Senate 2025 Commendation Award from Senator Joseph A. Griffo.

Thank you to our board members, donors, volunteers, partners, and the City of Utica for your constant support. This recognition belongs to all of us — together, we’re making a real impact in our community!

I’m beyond grateful for everyone who continues to believe in the vision of Utica Royalties. This honor reminds me why we started — to uplift, empower, and create hope for our youth.

OUR NEWS

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Talent Show! The event was amazing, and we were so proud of all the talented performers. Most walked away with prizes, and first place went to the young, talented lady in the first picture.

Big thanks to our judges for doing a great job and to our host for keeping the show fun and exciting.

We also want to thank our sponsors—Bank of Utica, Hannaford on Mohawk Street, and Stewart’s Shops—for helping make this event possible.

We can’t wait to head to the New York State Fair with our winners to share their talent on a bigger stage.

Talk out of the Town

I was thrilled to be back in the spotlight! Thank you to the crew at the station for the opportunity. I’m truly grateful to discuss all the amazing things that Utica Royalties is doing in the community, especially during the summer. A special thank you to Rocco, Mark, and everyone involved, as well as to our listeners!

The Community Foundation

The Equity Grant Round, powered by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and UpMobility Foundation, recently concluded, awarding thousands to local nonprofits including Utica Royalties, Project Fibonacci Foundation, the City of Utica Youth Bureau, and more. This grant round focused on addressing the fundamental causes of systemic racism and socioeconomic inequity that impact historically marginalized populations in the region.

Congratulations to this year’s grant recipients!
