"Paychex and our employees have a strong, proud tradition of supporting United Way in Rochester and across the country, and it's our employees and the results they've delivered that helped make this gift possible," said Martin Mucci, Paychex president and CEO. "We believe that United Way is uniquely positioned to do the most good for the most people in need in each community. And, now, more than ever, we stand with United Way in communities where our employees live, work, and serve our clients, to do our part providing immediate relief for those hit hardest by this crisis, and to be there when the rebuilding begins."
