The 11th annual Bloom, presented by PNC Bank, was a tremendous success. This year’s event was Saturday, September 12 at Greenacres Arts Center in Indian Hill and netted close to $300,000 to support Stepping Stones’ year-round programs for children, teens and adults with disabilities.

More than 400 guests dined on delicious tapas from local restaurants and caterers, danced to live music by The Company and bid on fabulous silent auction items through BidPal.

We launched The Stepping Stones Scholarship Fund, founded by Honorary co-chairs Neil and Susie Bortz, to augment Stepping Stones’ financial assistance program and extend services to more individuals. 

Sheree Paolello, of WLWT, emceed a short program, which featured a special video to celebrate Stepping Stones’ great mission and the new scholarship fund. 





A big thank you to our generous sponsors, including presenting sponsor PNC Bank and platinum sponsors: the Neil and Susie Bortz Family, Courtyard Marriott by Rookwood Exchange, The Pettengill Family, August A. Rendigs and Helen J. Rendigs Foundation and SugarCreek.
