Each year, a pasta dinner is held at the Boilermaker Expo, were runners can carb-up before race day.

This year's event raised over $3,000 for the United Way of the Valley and Greater Utica Area.  Boilermaker officials presented a check to the United Way today.

13-year old guitar whiz Chris United entertained at the event and collected $187 in his guitar case, which he donated to the United Way.
