2024-2025 Campaign Champions Gary and Jada Williams

24-25 Campaign Video

The United Way of Huntingdon County is proud to introduce Gary and Jada Williams as our 2024-2025 Campaign Champions. This year’s campaign    motto, “Give One for Everyone,” emphasizes that true community success stems from the collective efforts and contributions of its members.

Gary Williams is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mutual Benefit Group, headquartered in Huntingdon, PA. Before taking on this role in  2023, Gary served for eight years as an officer in the United States Air Force and built a distinguished career in the manufacturing and insurance industries. Gary is deeply committed to our community, serving as a Rotarian, a member of the board of directors and executive committee for the Chamber of Commerce, and as a board member for the Huntingdon Area School District Educational Fund.

Jada Williams is the President of Medical Language Specialists, Inc., a litigation support business she founded in 2008. A veteran of the United States  Air Force, she first met Gary during their service in 1990. Alongside running her company, she also oversees their long-standing real estate business. Deeply committed to her community, Jada has generously volunteered her time with the Rotary Club and Hometown Hearts, a local organization close to her heart.

Gary and Jada have been married for 34 years and are the proud parents of their daughter, Kennedy, a freshman at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia and their 5-year-old silver lab, Dakota. Together, Jada and Gary                                                                                    embody a shared dedication to their professional pursuits and a deep commitment to serving their community.

Join us in celebrating the leadership and generosity of the Williams family as they inspire our community to come together and make a difference! Gary and Jada are thrilled to share that they will personally match all new Leadership Circle Level donations up to the first $25,000. On top of this generous pledge, Mutual Benefit Group (MBG) will match these contributions again, tripling the impact on our community.

Huntingdon County United Way holds an annual campaign to raise funds for those in need in our communities throughout Huntingdon County. It is through the generosity of our residents donating and the employees from our territory businesses donating through workplace campaigns that those needs are met.

United Way of Huntingdon County fights for the education, financial stability, and basic needs of every person in our communities. Our partner agencies are the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund, Crossroads Pregnancy Center, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, Huntingdon County Child & Adult Development Corp., Huntingdon County Library, Juniata Valley Council: Boy Scouts of America, Saint Vincent dePaul Society, and the Salvation Army. Our affiliate agencies who are eligible to receive designations only are American Red Cross, Eye Care Agency, Home Nursing Agency, Mount Union Community Library, Penn Highlands Huntingdon, and the United Service Organization (USO).
