The Largest Italian American Service Organization in the USA

Welcome

The UNICO National mission is to promote the image of Italian Americans along with Italian heritage and culture by supporting charitable, scientific, cultural, educational, and literary projects.

 

The men and women of our many chapters across the country devote their time, energy and resources to serve their local communities. They also support UNICO National causes such as scholarships, Cooley’s Anemia, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Cancer Prevention and Research.

​

Founded in 1922 by Dr. Anthony P. Vastola in Waterbury, Connecticut to unite people of Italian heritage in an organization to perform charitable, patriotic and educational deeds.

 

UNICO’s motto is “Service Above Self”. UNICO means “unique” or “only one of its kind” in Italian and additionally, the letters represent: U-Unity, N-Neighborliness, I-Integrity, C-Charity and O-Opportunity.

UNICO Italian Heritage Night with the NJ Devils!

UNICO National is proud to announce the 2nd Italian Heritage New Jersey Devils Hockey Night Tuesday, February 11, 2020. This year we have secured the first 120 tickets together so that Unicans can sit together. Tickets are in the 100s sections and will include a $10 concessions voucher and a custom UNICO/Devils T-shirt. Unicans will be able to take a group picture on the ice after the game and some lucky members will join the "High Five Tunnel" to greet the players as they hit the ice. Join President Frank and see him ride the Zamboni! Last year we had almost 150 people attend. It should be another great night to enjoy with your family and fellow members. Click the link for tickets.
