Last year, I set out with a simple goal for Steps for Students: $5,436 — one dollar for every step in the 5K. Thanks to the generosity of our incredible community, that goal was not only met, but surpassed. Because it went so well, I’m raising the bar this year and doubling my goal to $10,872.
I am proud to once again support St. Jerome Catholic School, where our overall goal this year is $50,000. Every dollar raised goes directly to the school — helping with daily operations, supporting new projects, improving our campus, and providing additional materials that enrich our students’ learning experience.
This year also brings a much-anticipated rematch in the Step-Up Campaign against Fr. Alfonso — but this time, I’m not running alone. I’m grateful to be joined by some of our amazing faculty and staff, turning this into a true team effort: Team Fr. Jonathan vs. Team Fr. Alfonso. While the competition remains friendly, I’m aiming to win again — and to defend my place as the #1 fundraiser in the Archdiocese.
Thank you for supporting St. Jerome and for being part of this mission. Together, every step truly makes a difference.
