STEPS Grand Winter Ball

Making dreams come true each winter

Save the date: Saturday 31 July 2027

A magical night with an extraordinary outcome

The 2026 STEPS Grand Winter Ball, proudly presented by Caloundra RSL, raised an incredible $308,087 in support of STEPS Pathways College.

This remarkable result reflects the generosity, commitment and community spirit of those who came together to support young people with disability and autism to build independence, confidence and brighter futures.

The success of the event would not have been possible without the support of our valued sponsors, partners, performers, speakers, volunteers, ambassadors, students and guests. We are deeply grateful for the collective contribution of everyone involved and for the life-changing opportunities this support will help create for STEPS Pathways College students.

STEPS Pathways College is an intensive training course for young adults with a disability and autism to develop the skills needed to experience a life of independence.

The only college of its kind in the world, STEPS Pathways College relies entirely on the generosity of donors and supporters to make this life-changing education possible.
