“The Step Up For The Brave Stadium Stair Climb Challenge is for anyone in the community who wants to take a positive step towards ending homelessness among those who served our country,” said Vincent Santilli, CEO/Executive Director of ABRI/Homes for the Brave. “We want this event to send a signal that we care about their sacrifice, and we are here for them when they need it most.”
Event proceeds will benefit Homes for the Brave, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing safe housing, vocational training, and life skills coaching to homeless individuals, most of whom are veterans. The Ballpark at Harbor Yard is located at 500 Main Street in Bridgeport, CT.
Sponsorship opportunities are available, beginning at $100. Companies and individuals can sponsor the event or a flight of stairs in honor or memory of a personal hero or loved one.
