It is with deep sorrow, that I write, regarding the passing of long time UNICO member, Rick Mairone. Rick served as the President of the Foundation. In addition, he was chairperson of the Golf Tournament and instrumental in our sponsorship at the ALS Walk. Rick spent countless hours volunteering ...for all our charitable endeavors and helped in promoting pride in our Italian American heritage. Please join me in extending your thoughts and prayers to Rick's family. The link to his obituary is listed below.

UNICO National – “Join Us!”
What We Do
UNICO National is a service organization of Italian Americans established in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1922 to “engage in charitable works, support higher education, and perform patriotic deeds”. According to its website, it is the “largest Italian American service organization in the USA”. At that time of its founding, the trial of anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were in the news, and many stories fostered a belief that Italian Americans were loyal primarily to their homeland. UNICO was founded to show that Italian Americans were loyal to America first and held no allegiance to Italy except through cultural traditions.
Unico is the Italian word for “unique”, chosen to represent the one-of-a-kind nature of the organization. The word has since become a backronym which stands for Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, Opportunity.
