Steppin’ Out for First Step

Who We Are

We're a group of people of all ages who want to transform our community through occasional fun lunches, happy hours, and special events. We’re an informal social group dedicated to having fun and injecting a little philanthropy into our social activities. As social beings, leaders of our community, and contributors to our families, our efforts will go toward raising funds and awareness for First Step Healthy Family Resource Center. This may mean hosting a fun summer event with hundreds of folks raising thousands of dollars, or it could be a few friends enjoying a cold beverage and deciding to end the evening by writing a check to the organization.

What We Do

We use our regular social interactions as a means to generate donations for First Step Healthy Family Resource Center. Ultimately, we want to inspire people to fulfill their philanthropic potential through donations of time, talent and money. We have simple beliefs: Enjoy life. Work hard. Play hard. Be thankful for our blessings. And give back!

What We Don't Do

We did not create a large, formal organization requiring lots of meetings, committees or time. We’re all on enough boards! We simply want to have fun and, in the process, impact our community in a big way. Together, we can spread the word about the joy of giving. Together we can make our community a better and stronger place to live. Together we can laugh. Together, we can give back!

Why First Step?

Because we believe that the way to improve our community is through improving the lives and relationships of all the families living here. Because we want every home in our community to be a happy and healthy home capable of nurturing the ongoing development of every member of the family within it. Because it’s our collective vision to encourage people to grow and discover within themselves the qualities of compassion, hope, strength, and respect.
