presented by CDPHP

Monday, May 18, 2026

Each year, United Way of the Greater Capital Region brings the community together for 518 Day—a region-wide day of volunteerism supporting dozens of local nonprofits and community-based organizations. We’re proud to announce CDPHP as this year’s presenting sponsor. Join hundreds of volunteers from across the Capital Region on May 18 (hence, 518 Day) as we give back and celebrate the spirit of philanthropy that strengthens our communities.
