Thank you Dave!

This month, we accepted the resignation of Dave Ritcey from the Board of Directors of the STEPs on Arthur Foundation. While his departure leaves a notable void, we are grateful that Dave remains committed to supporting the Foundation in other ways, including his pivotal role in the upcoming Golf Tournament, a cornerstone of our success. We deeply appreciate Dave’s unwavering dedication and invaluable service to the Foundation. His contributions will be greatly missed. Thank you, Dave!

Thank you, Adam!

The Board of Directors of the STEPs on Arthur Foundation wishes to gratefully acknowledge our outgoing Board Chair, Adam Harris.

We are indebted to Adam for his exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to our mission. His vision and dedication have made a lasting impact, and we are deeply appreciative of his service.

STEPs Up to the Plate a great success!

We extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the STEPs Up to the Plate campaign such a success! Whether you visited our restaurant partners, shared our posts, told a friend or all of the above, your support truly made this initiative unforgettable.

STEPs' clients and Foundation staff had the privilege of visiting our partners to present them with certificates in recognition of their participation.

Celebrating a Century of Giving

Lloyd Coady is celebrating his 100th birthday, and is marking the milestone in a way that is truly befitting his lifetime of service.

The Kathleen and Lloyd Coady Foundation has been established, with the STEPs on Arthur Foundation as its beneficiary. We gratefully acknowledge Lloyd’s generosity and the lasting legacy of his incredibly meaningful gift.

Here’s to 100 years of inspiration, and to many more years of making a difference in the lives of others!
