Each April Next Step holds its gala fundraiser, The Grate Groan-Up Spelling Bee at the Club at Bond Head.  This is a fun and entertaining evening where participants compete in a traditional spelling bee in teams of three.  There are prizes for Best Spelling, Best Costumes, Most Team Spirit and a Play-Along winner.  The evening also includes a delicious Prime Rib dinner (vegetarian dinner also available) and a dessert buffet.  Our fantastic local businesses contribute to make our silent auction table an added level of engagement and excitement.  There is also a 50/50 and an inspiration speech from our Honorary Chair (which changes each year).  If you are interested in being a sponsor or participating in the event, please click on the link above or send us an email for more information.  The date for the event is announced in the winter of each year.
