On Saturday August 14th, the Port Chester Housing Authority hosted the 20th Annual Port Chester Unity Day at Columbus Park. Derek Vincent Director of Teen Programming and his brother Lou founded Unity Day in 1990 as a basketball tournament to showcase local talent. Now in its 20th year, Unity Day is a community festival attended by hundreds of Port Chester residents as it gives them a chance to reconnect with childhood friends and celebrate their hometown. Executive Director Kerry Walsh presented Tina Foust, a life-long Port Chester resident with a proclamation in recognition of her dedication and service to the children of Carver and the village of Port Chester.
Derek Vincent was also honored for his continued commitment to Port Chester Unity Day. “It was a wonderful day for the Village of Port Chester. We are thrilled so many people attended this event to celebrate our community and its history. The Unity Day Planning Committee is very appreciative of the support we received from the Carver Center and local vendors. With their ongoing support we are able to ensure Unity Day is a success. ” said Derek. The Carver Center salutes Unity Day and looks forward to the next 20 years of teamwork.
