Twenty years ago on Earth Day, April 22, the seeds of a dream to create a foundation were planted, and since that time Stairway Foundation has grown and flourished to become the organization that it is today.   Through innovation, dedication and networking, the foundation has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and professionals working in the field of child protection. We would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to all of you who have helped to nurture the dream in helping us to make a significant difference where it is most needed.
