The historic 75th UNICO All-Star Charity Football Game will be played on Thursday at the beautiful Wilkes-Barre (PA) Area High School Football Stadium. The keyword there is “historic.” Because it is very historic. Well over 5,000 local Wyoming Valley football players have played in this game since its inception.
UNICO is the largest Italian American organization in the United States. What is really significant is that the Wilkes-Barre Chapter dedicates revenues from this game to local Wyoming Valley charities — 75% to charities or agencies associated with mental health, and 25% to general charities.
