More than 80 community and business leaders, philanthropists, educators and friends of Steppingstone Scholars, Inc. gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel for “Pathways to Educational Success,” a panel discussion about Steppingstone’s mission and the need for support to enable the organization to continue its critical work. The dinner and program, hosted by the board of directors of Steppingstone Scholars and made possible in part by the generosity of the Four Seasons Hotel, is one of several events that Steppingstone Scholars holds annually to raise awareness and support for its work of developing and implementing programs that prepare underserved schoolchildren for educational opportunities that lead to college.
