Mt. Vernon, NY, May xx, 2015- Unitex, a regional business with locations throughout the Northeast and a leader in the healthcare laundry industry, is an advocate for giving back, especially when it comes to supporting schools and community programs in local markets.

For the third year in a row, Unitex has supported “Sweep Up Day” in partnership with the City of New Brunswick.  During Sweep Up Day, (held on Earth Day) students were challenged to clean up residential areas of the city, disposing of litter in an environmentally friendly manner.  The event was followed by a pizza party and magic show sponsored by Unitex.  In addition to supporting Sweep Up Day in New Jersey, Unitex is a proud supporter of Grace Academy in Hartford and San Miguel Academy in Newburgh. This year, Unitex was a major contributor to school’s benefit events.

In addition to supporting school-based events, Unitex is extremely committed to sports based programs and charity walks.  This year, Unitex is a silver sponsor of the City of Newburgh Little League, helping to provide a memorable baseball season for approximately 100 local children ages 4 – 16.  And on June 20th, the Unitex team will support Newburgh’s 7th Annual “Lap4Life” Run at Chadwick Lake.  The 2015 Lap4Life Run, geared toward local families, was created to help bring awareness about rare tumors and to help raise money for research and organ donation.

“We are excited to take part in all of these programs and to help make a difference in these communities,” said David Potack, Vice President of Unitex. “Giving back is a huge part of our company’s mission and it is important for Unitex to give back to the local families.”
