Success Won’t Wait provides 250 children’s books to Knollwood Community Center in Claymont, Delaware
Success Won’t Wait volunteer Matt McNeill, a sophomore at Archmere Academy, prepares 250 children’s books for the Knollwood Community Center.
Through Ms. Denise O’Meara of Archmere Academy, Success Won’t Wait recently learned that there was a real need for books in our own backyard! Ms. O’Meara heads up community service efforts at the school, and tutoring at the Knollwood Community Center is regularly provided by Archmere students. So, earlier this week, Archmere sophomore and longtime Success Won’t Wait volunteer Matt McNeill dug through book donations to find 250 children’s books that could be used by the children at the center.
Knollwood Community Center in Claymont, Delaware

Success Won’t Wait volunteers hand out over 500 children’s books at the Winterthur Point-to-Point Steeplechase!
The annual Winterthur Point-to-Point Steeplechase was held last weekend on the stunning grounds of the Winterthur Museum and Gardens in Greenville, Delaware. Each May, this is one of the highlights of the event calendar for Success Won’t Wait volunteers.
In addition to thrilling steeplechase races, an amazing tailgate competition, a breathtaking collection of antique Rolls Royce automobiles, and loads of must-have offerings from exclusive vendors, the day also features the Success Won’t Wait Kids’ Fun Hunt!
The Kids’ Fun Hunt was instituted five years ago by Race Director Jill Abbott, as longtime attendees began bringing their children to the event. The Fun Hunt offers a “Kids’ Hunt Map” of the venue and encourages them to visit each vendor for an activity (like a free mani-pedi, painting horse shoes, or even playing dress up with a pony!) or a lovely prize. The Success Won’t Wait tent features a free children’s book provided this year by Scholastic!
The event is the perfect way to publicize the Success Won’t Wait mission and introduce families to the organization. Success Won’t Wait volunteers handed out well over 500 books at the event this year!
