Dear Stepping Stone Supporters: I wanted to give you a quick follow-up to the Secret Millionaire-A Stepping Stone segment (filmed fall 2011, aired this fall).  Our Secret Millionaire, Mr. Jay, promised one of our Stepping Stone moms that when she received her GED, he would have scholarship money waiting for her.  Unfortunately, she left our…Continued

We very much hope you all were able to catch Sunday’s Secret Millionaire episode (8/11/13). Mr. Jay, of course, made good on his word and donated $50,000 to A Stepping Stone Foundation a few short weeks after taping the episode was complete.
