6:00 to 7:00 PM, on Zoom
	This year, we decided that our annual benefit would spotlight the creative talents of a few current Early Steps students. Not only because the arts are so important, but to illustrate just one of the many ways that your support makes a tremendous difference. 
	 
	Through Early Steps – and with the support of parents, alumni, educators, administrators, friends and others – young children of color are able to receive an excellent education where they can explore every possibility. Yes, for academic success and future job prospects… but also for the endeavors that will become their hobbies and their sources of fun, self-expression, self-care, and so much more. We are so grateful that you believe, as we do, that every child deserves this kind of childhood and education.
