Valley United Way to hold annual meeting, present Charles H. Flynn Award

Dear Friends, Valley United Way warmly invites you to join us for our Annual Meeting, an evening dedicated to celebrating the partners, donors, and volunteers who make our work possible. Each year, more than 200 business and community leaders come together for this special event—an opportunity to reflect on our collective impact and recognize those who help strengthen our Valley. Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 5:00 PM Courtyard by Marriott, Shelton During the evening, we will proudly present the Charles H. Flynn Humanitarian Award to Ramon Peralta, a visionary entrepreneur, community leader, and mentor. As Founder and Creative Director of Peralta Design, Ramon has built a mission-driven agency specializing in branding and digital strategy, while also dedicating his time to mentoring youth and supporting nonprofit initiatives across our region. His commitment to creativity, entrepreneurship, and community impact embodies the spirit of this award. We hope you’ll join us for an inspiring evening of connection, gratitude, and celebration.
