TROY — An upcoming annual community fundraiser, “Step Up to the Plate,” will provide Troy community members with dining deals and the chance to win a $1,000 cash prize for a winning Troy school.

The program, presented by Children’s Hospital of Michigan, will run Sunday, May 5, to Friday, May 10, and is a part of a partnership between Troy Chamber of Commerce member restaurants and the Troy School District.

A Step Up flyer can be downloaded at the Troy Chamber website, troychamber.com.
