United Auto Sales of Utica is a locally owned, family operated business that takes pride in our community and local events. We take part in so many local events throughout the year to help better our community, improve family and children's lives, educate local residents, and are just a great way to get together and have some fun!
Local Events we Participate in Throughout the Year:
New Hartford Memorial Day Parade: we love participating in the parade every year. It's a great way for all of us to get into the community, show off our cars, and end at the New Hartford Fire Department for refreshments and tours afterwards!
Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute Antique & Classic Car Show: The MWPAI Car Show comes every year at the end of their Annual Art Walk. The Art Walk is a free exhibit to showcase local artists' work, and the car show is always exciting to see each year with different themes like Mustangs, Corvettes, and more!
Children's Miracle Network Telethon: each year, we always volunteer our time to answer phones during the Children's Miracle Network Telethon. CMN is part of our local Hospitals, and they provide assistance to women and children's services. They are a huge part of our community, by helping premature babies stay local, provide medical assistance to mothers and children no matter what their financial status is, and even other services like speech and occupational therapies.
The One Charity Golf Classic: UFCW District Union Local 1 has held their local Charity Golf Tournament for over 20 years for our community. Each year, we donate a vehicle to raffle off, and participate in the tournament to raise money for multiple different non-profit organizations in our area. The sum of the donations are given out to many local charitable causes in our area like Operation Sunshine, The Abraham House, Kids Oneida, Leukemia Society of America, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Since their inception, thousands of dollars have been donated to local efforts helping our community members.
Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest & Holiday Party: Each of our stores has a catered, holiday lunch party at the store. We close up shop for a bit, gather for a party and always enjoy catered food from our favorite local restaurants. At our parties, everyone is encouraged to wear their best Ugly Christmas Sweater (or costume.) Like our Halloween contest, pictures are posted on Facebook and the ones with the most likes wins!
Steet Ponte Auto Group Company Picnic: Our Company Picnic has grown from 50 attendees at Enchanted Forest Water Safari, to over 500 over the course of the years since acquiring multiple different stores. We provide tickets for our employees and their immediate family members, and also provide extra tickets at a discounted rate. We have our own pavilion to leave items in throughout the day, a fantastic lunch is catered by Water Safari, and what better way to spend a summer day in Upstate New York than at Water Safari!
