Kennedy Valve continued its commitment to supporting local communities as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Tour de Keuka, helping the United Way of the Southern Tier raise more than $80,000 for programs benefiting children, senior citizens and families in need across Chemung and Steuben counties.
This year marked Kennedy Valve’s fourth consecutive year as the event’s presenting sponsor, underscoring the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the communities where its employees live and work.
Held August 1, the annual charity bike ride welcomed nearly 200 cyclists from 14 states and 75 volunteers who came together to support the United Way’s mission. Riders completed 45-, 60- or 100-mile routes, with each participant raising at least $150 for local programs.
Kennedy Valve employees Mason Stachowski, Kevin Gleason and his father, Mike Gleason, participated in the ride, representing the company throughout the event.
By supporting Tour de Keuka, Kennedy Valve continues to invest in meaningful partnerships that make a lasting difference for local families and communities.
