We need volunteers…this is where you can help.  What are your talents?  How can you join forces with GDI.  We would like to grow a large community base of volunteers with many and varied talents to fulfill just about any need of our partnering organizations.  We are also interested in forming an allegiance with other organizations whose sole purpose is to provide support for the well being of others.  GDI is particularly interested in the youth and senior citizens base, but not limited to these areas of social concern.

Sign up for the GDI Partnering Team.  Let us know how you can help.  We welcome your ideas, suggestions, recommendations, time and effort.  Together we can make a world of difference in the lives of many.

STP-PartnerGood Deeds International (GDI), LLC, has been a long-time supporter of The Step and Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation.

This Foundation was founded by Monique Salter, who is a woman at risk for this dreadful disease.  Monique is a native Chicagoan and an active member of the steppin’ community.

She established The Step and Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation to provide a network of strength throughout the nationwide steppin’ community.  The Foundation is devoted to representing the needs of women and men affected by this disease.  The tragedy of this illness is not merely the physical and emotional burden, but also the enormous financial strain it places on a family.

Monique’s dear friend surrendered her fight with breast cancer a few years ago.  Because of this tragedy, The Step and Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation will work to make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disease—steppers and nonsteppers in and around our community.
