To unite people of Italian heritage in an organization to perform charitable, patriotic, and educational deeds.
UNICO’s motto, “Service Above Self” drives us to embody the true essence of UNICO.
The name “UNICO” means “unique” or “only one of its kind” in Italian, and the letters symbolize our core values:
U for Unity,
N for Neighborliness,
I for Integrity,
C for Charity,
O for Opportunity.
We are thrilled to welcome you to join us and contribute to our mission.
On April 27th 2025 RT UNICO hosted a walkathon event to benefit Jersey Battered Womens Services - JBWS. It was a blustery but spirited day filled with good energy and spirit.
To all our generous walkers and sponsors, RT UNICO THANKS YOU FOR A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT!
Thanks to the Walkathon Committee members, our sponsors, donors, and walkers, we were able to raise $4,150.00 for the Jersey Battered Women’s Service!

A blustery day did not keep our volunteers from RT UNICO from getting participants checked in and ready to walk.
We donated toys and gift cards to Rockaway Holiday Wishes to help local financially underprivileged children enjoy the Christmas Holiday. Shown in the photo left to right are Brenda Budd (Director of Holiday Wishes for Rockaway), and our members Barbara Turco, Rosalie Marmara and Toni Brisson.
As a result of our Dan Bell Memorial Citizenship Event held in October, our Chapter donated $27,500 in December to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help families and responders impacted by the 9/11 Twin Towers situation. Shown in the photo left to right are our Chapter President Susanne Jackson, Joe Bell, Cheryl Capo and Ben Salerno (a volunteer and spokesperson from Tunnel to Towers).
We then held our Chapter Christmas Party at Caffe Navona which was very well attended. We enjoyed meeting with each other and the excellent Italian food, music, and played games and held raffles. A really nice time was enjoyed by all.
