The Steppingstone Foundation's Annual Gala Dinner

The Steppingstone Foundation's annual gala dinner was held on 11/4 at The Charles Hotel. The event raised more than $500,000 for the Boston-based non-profit. Guests helped by bidding to participate in the Steppingstone Salon, a series of experiences pairing donors with such luminaries as author Ben Mezrich, Sfoglia chef Ron Suhanosky of New York City and Nantucket, and Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman John Weinberg. The Steppingstone Foundation is a nonprofit organization that develops and implements programs that prepare urban schoolchildren for educational opportunities that lead to college.
