Success By 6 Turns Six Breakfast Celebration

On May 19, 2011, over 300 friends of United Way came together to celebrate the many accomplishments of Success By 6 since its formation six years ago.   Success By 6 was born out of a community-wide needs assessment, known as COMPASS, that identified education disparity as a critical issue in our region. 

Success By 6 is United Way’s initiative to ensure that children enter school developmentally on track in terms of health, literacy, social, emotional and intellectual skills regardless of race or socioeconomic status.  Success By 6 is a key element of United Way’s Education work, and one of the primary ways United Way is working to address the achievement gap.
