Meet Bruce Krone, president of the Charles H. Dater Foundation.
Throughout the year, Stepping Stones is pleased to receive funding through a number of grants and foundations. This funding directly supports our year-round programming and various campuses. In 2023, we received support from over 50 different foundations.
We also receive support through multiple special events throughout the year. This includes our signature fundraiser Bloom, The Sporting Clays Tournament, Open Your Heart dinner and The Golf Classic. In 2023, these events raised a net total of over $602,000. We would like to thank all of the generous individuals, businesses, foundations and organizations that have supported Stepping Stones.
