STEP Treasurer Tim Rottinghaus shared, “With online and in person donations on Match Day totaling $133,425, a 77% increase over last year, we couldn’t be happier. After adding in the $70,000 matching grant from the Patterson Family Foundation and donations from our generous STEP-Up Supporters the day- grand total was $234,900. We truly thank the Patterson Family, our STEP-Up Supporters, and all who donated on that day.”
