Thanks to our many generous supporters, the 2023 Steps to Independence Celebration raised $1.5 million to strengthen our programming for individuals with disabilities. A special thank you to this year’s honoree, Ronel Borner of CenterPoint Properties, for his work to make this year’s event such a success.
