Binghamton, NY – September 11, 2024 – Mirabito Convenience Stores is proud to announce the launch of its “Cups for a Cause” initiative, a program designed to support local charities and community organizations by donating unused paper cups. As part of our ongoing commitment to giving back, we’re offering essential support to charities and organizations hosting events and programs in our local communities.
With the rising cost of goods affecting many nonprofit organizations, Mirabito recognizes the importance of supporting the community in tangible ways. Through this initiative, we are donating our unused Mirabito Convenience Store paper cups to help alleviate the cost burden on charities and community groups that rely on such essentials for their events and outreach efforts.
As we prepare to introduce an exciting, newly rebranded Mirabito Convenience Store to-go beverage cup this fall, we’re ensuring our current supply of unused cups doesn’t go to waste. In line with our commitment to sustainability, we’re taking this opportunity to donate and recycle responsibly by extending a helping hand to local organizations in need. We encourage all interested community groups to request a paper cup donation from Mirabito Convenience Stores by emailing cares@mirabito.com with information about their event, organization, or cause, along with the number of cups they require.
Be on the lookout this fall for Mirabito’s fresh, new branded cup design at our convenience stores! Until then, we’re proud to make sure that no cup goes unused—especially when it can help strengthen the community we serve.

The UHS Wilson Main Tower is set to revolutionize local healthcare with state-of-the-art facilities and expanded care options. Serving as the new front door to the UHS Wilson Medical Center, the Wilson Main Tower began welcoming patients and visitors on June 26. The opening transforms the UHS Wilson Medical Center campus into a state-of-the-art healthcare facility, featuring a new Emergency & Trauma Center, helipad, inpatient MRI suite and 120 single-occupancy rooms with private bathrooms at UHS Wilson Medical Center. These improvements are designed to provide patients with the highest standard of care, reduce wait times, and offer more comprehensive treatment options.
At the foundation of our mission, Mirabito believes in advocating for and supporting the areas we serve. Healthcare is vital to the well-being of our neighbors and the prosperity of our communities. The support of this campaign by our customers is a testament to our shared mission.

A check presentation was held at the Mirabito Convenience Store in Greene, NY, where members of the UHS team and Mirabito team members shared a photo to commemorate the Round-Up.
