WTG CORNING COMMUNITY - Way to Step-Up!!! With the match from the STEP Foundation the Corning Impact Fund ended up earning $17,200 on Match Day; $1,000 of that was requested to go to the museum for shelving so $16,200 will go towards the City Hall for window replacement!!! Which is totally fabulous!!!

The Corning Community Fund earned $8,242.50 which again is so wonderful!!!

We had the most amazing day!!! We couldn’t be more grateful to each of you for your generosity!!! Thank you!!!
