Please put as much effort into GATHERING SPONSORS FOR THE CHARITY as you do into your lifting! Some of our lifters in years past have raised $500 or more dollars by themsevles – if every lifter can raise just $100 imagine how much that will help Stepping Stones with new equipment for their facility, transportation expenses, new computers, their utility bills, and with their dance events, sports tournaments, and holiday parties (and it’s for kids, teens, and adults with disabilities to help improve their quality of life!). Remember why we are doing this!
*Start gathering sponsors now! There will be a special prize for Most Money Raised, and all money raised by the lifters this way will go 100% to the charity!
