NEW HAVEN — United Way of Greater New Haven held a sixth birthday breakfast Thursday for its early childhood initiative, “Success By 6,” designed to give kids a solid start in life and in hopes of making strides in closing the achievement gap.
It was a big party, with some 300 guests, held at the Omni Hotel at Yale, with Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman among the guests, as Gov. Dannel Malloy was called out of town and couldn’t speak as planned.Al Smith, chairman of the organization’s Board of Directors, noted like any proud father that United Way has transformed itself from a community fundraising agency to a community impact agency and Success by Six is an example of that.
