Donate to STEP: Invest in the Future

To The Editor: The Scarsdale STEP Program would like to thank the community for their continued support. Our community has the unique distinction of having supported STEP (Student Transfer Education Plan) continuously for the past 48 years. Solely funded through local donations, STEP has brought minority men and women of outstanding promise, facing limited opportunities, to live and be educated in Scarsdale. STEP students, who go through a rigorous selection and interview process, reside with a local family and attend Scarsdale High School for their junior and senior years.

Currently our STEP students are, Robert Lee (SHS '15) and DonTavius Holmes (SHS '16). Robert is an active member of many community service clubs. He is also a representative for his senior class government and on prom committee. DonTavius Holmes plays football and basketball for Scarsdale High School.

We are reaching out to all of you, soliciting your financial support for a program that very directly changes lives. By contributing generously to STEP, you can invest in the future. Please make your tax-deductible donation by visiting our website or sending a check to: STEP, PO BOX 278, Scarsdale, NY 10583.

We also invite you to participate as a volunteer or host family.

Thank you for your support,

The Scarsdale STEP Fundraising Committee
