The Foxy Ladies of Polk County recently held a luncheon fundraiser in Steps to HOPE’s Community Room, raising more than $1,000 for the organization’s Adolescent Skill-building/Karate Program, ASK. A brief presentation was given by ASK program facilitator and Steps to HOPE Community Outreach Educator Ruth Richardson, who emphasized the importance of working closely with children in order to break and end the generational cycle of violence.
