VIP Dining Series

Friends and supporters of Steppingstone Scholars enjoyed the first of five dining experiences at the Four Seasons Fountain Room with Harold Carmichael and his wife B on May 20, 2009. Guests enjoyed a champagne reception and a three-course meal created by New Executive Chef Rafael Gonzalez.

Guests bid on the exclusive dinner series which was offered at the Spring Salsa 2009 to support Steppingstone programs. Steppingstone Scholars transforms the lives of underserved Philadelphia schoolchildren through education. Steppingstone believes that all children, regardless of race and background, deserve the opportunity that education affords and "a seat at the table".

Mayor Michael Nutter, Lee & Bob Woodruff, John Hess and Abigail Disney will round out the dining series VIPs.
