About Carbondale Unico

The Carbondale UNICO Chapter was chartered in 1959 and currently has 54 members. We are host to 2nd National Vice-President Glenn Pettinato, Foundation Board Member Peter Pettinato, and PA II District Governor Chip Calabro. Sr. Member Luke Pollitts was one of the original charter members and is still active in the chapter today. Our chapter continues to grow strong.

As a member of the UNICO National, the Carbondale chapters' mission is to contribute to the well-being of our local communities by making significant contributions to deserving charities. UNICO strives to honor, perpetuate and disseminate the culture and ethnic heritage of our Italian immigrant ancestors, by supporting higher education and by educating and informing our members, local communities and our nation.

Through the years the Carbondale UNICO chapter has given thousands of dollars to local organizations such as the Red Cross, Carbondale YMCA and Special Olympics. The Carbondale chapter also gives scholarships to local students to promote Italian heritage.
