    On October 16, 1887, a Denver woman, priest, two ministers and a rabbi came together because they believed there was a better way to meet the needs of local residents. They founded the Charity Organization Society, now known as United Way. We've had many names over the years but one mission: to build communities where all can thrive. Thank you for 137 years of support. We owe so much to our donors, volunteers and partners.

Valuable lessons and knowledge were provided by local school instructors, business professionals and corporate managers. The general focus of the leadership symposium was to provide students with the knowledge needed to start their own entrepreneurial endeavors and create their own paths to success.
