WE ARE BACK, STRONGER THAN EVER! 

Join The Courageous Steps Project on Sunday May 15th, 2022 at Old Town High School's Victory Field for our 9th annual walk-run in honor of Dylan McInnis. Proceeds from the event will go to Dylan's Scholarship Fund through the Maine JR Black Bears, and The Courageous Steps Project, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that strives to help children and young adults with various abilities and challenges.

We encourage participants to register online ahead of time so we can reduce the amount of crowdedness at check-in. Please help us do this so we can provide a safe environment for everyone. 

Since 2014, The Courageous Steps Project has helped 35+ organizations in the region. We’ve been able to accomplish this through our different initiatives that focus on providing resources and awareness of or for developmental challenges with children and young adults. We’ve donated school supplies to 29 schools in Hancock and Penobscot counties. We’ve also served 1,000+ individuals in other regions of Maine through our ‘One Word’ Challenge campaign, which gets you to think of a POSITIVE word that describes you as a person. More importantly, this promotes the importance of embracing who you are.

Constantly, we are starting new initiatives that target different regions of Maine. We are partnering with organizations around the state as well to create more opportunities for those living with developmental challenges. If you want to partner with us, or volunteer with us, please email us at: info@thecourageousstepsproject.org. Your input or time with our organization is so valuable!
