Get started
Each May, companies and individuals come together in honor of trauma awareness month for the Step Up for Stepping Strong wellness challenge—an app-based steps competition that promotes well-being and fuels groundbreaking innovation, effective prevention, and compassionate intervention for trauma patients.
Participation is free to individuals and includes access to health, wellness, and nutrition information, plus chances to win gift cards and other prizes—all by simply logging your steps. Sign up by April 30 to ensure each step counts!
Help us reach a collective step goal to unlock a donation of more than $100,000 from our sponsors. All proceeds benefit The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation.
