**About EPIC StepUP**
The EPIC StepUp program is a pathway for welcoming and cultivating the next
generation of Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) donors. EPIC StepUp invites
participants to “step up” their giving over three years, with a clear and
achievable plan: year one: a $500 gift, year two: a $750 gift and year three:
a $1,000 BGS-level gift to the Federation’s Annual Campaign. From the moment
they join, EPIC StepUp participants are recognized and celebrated as BGS
donors, with access to all BGS community experiences. **EPIC StepUp is brought
to the community by Sue and Alan J. Kaufman & Family**.
