Steps to End Homelessness
Join us for the 14th annual Steps to End Homelessness event, presented by Tamarack Valley Energy on Sunday, April 27 at the McHugh Bluff stairs in Crescent Heights.
Steps to End Homelessness was founded in 2009 by community advocate Suzanne West – born out of her desire to change the world and her commitment to advocate for the less fortunate. Suzanne’s passion and determination to end child and family homelessness was contagious and tireless. Steps to End Homelessness presented by Tamarack Valley Energy, has been one of Inn from the Cold’s most significant fundraising events. Now hosted by Inn from the Cold, the event is in Suzanne’s memory, with donations matched by Power of One Foundation – Suzanne’s charitable foundation now operated by her family. This means every dollar you raise will be doubled, having twice the impact. We are honoured to continue her legacy, and we hope you will join us for the 14th year to make this the most successful Steps to End Homelessness to date.
Presented by:
Steps to End Homelessness would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Tamarack Valley Energy and Power of One Foundation, in honour of Suzanne West.
