Where are my steppers at!?   

Yes, we have until Spring until the Step Challenge returns, however by attending THIS event, you will automatically be entered into a BTA bonus round come Springtime.  

Health, Safety, and Wellness is a year-round commitment; therefore, we must keep the steps going and finding ways to keep ourselves healthy throughout the year... and what better way to do that, than by making a positive impact on others, with others.

Let's Make Strides together this October! Have a great week!
