Your generosity makes it possible for Steps to Manhood (STM) students, regardless of their

financial situation, to seize the opportunity to achieve their goals.  It is an investment in very

special young people.
 
The skyrocketing costs required to run youth programs, coupled with our high school drop-out

rate (over 50%), are the main reasons we rely so heavily on your generous support.  Despite

considerable obstacles, STM is committed to raise the money which guarantees our students

receive the assistance they need.  To give you some idea of the enormity of the need-close to

90% of the students who attend STM need financial assistance to participate in our programs.
 

Be assured that your generous support is the foundation for the hopes and dreams of all STM

students.  Their future contribution to America's greatness will make you proud you helped.
 
 I urge you to make your contribution to STM as soon as you can.
