The Lily Fund
We are proud to announce the establishment of a scholarship fund in honor and memory of a very special little girl named Lily Noakes! . Lily participated in our 2014 Summer Arts Camp: she was quiet and shy but danced and said her lines, ; a tiny girl who stepped up big and bold when it was time to take center stage. Lily was just like all of our special kids, except that she had cancer. Lily’s fight ended on January 23, 2015.
Lily Funds will be used to provide scholarships to allow deserving people with disabilities to participate in our programs.
To donate: Please use our Network for Good link above and select “Lily Fund” for “Apply my donation to….” You can also donate by sending a check (made out to “STEP VA, Inc. – Attn: Lily Fund”) to P.O. Box 42154, Fredericksburg, VA 22404.
Thank you for helping us to remember and honor this special camper who made a difference to STEP VA.
