From early learning to lifelong success

Because of your commitment to United Way, Chase stepped confidently into a future full of hope. At just 3 years old, he entered an early learning program supported by United Way, which gave him the confidence and skills to succeed in school. His mom, Courthney, was inspired to con nue her own educa on, earning a bachelor’s degree and building a stable career.

Today, Chase is an honor roll student with big dreams, and Courthney con nues to advocate for early learning.
