Step Sing weekend affords opportunities for many of us to reconnect with alumni and friends who visit the campus to attend one of the performances.  The alum with the longest journey to Homewood this year was probably Meredith Toering, a 2013 graduate currently working with Morning Star Foundation in Beijing, China.  The primary mission for Morning Star is to care for orphaned, abandoned, or needy children with heart disease.  Gifts raised by Step Sing participants enabled Meredith to return to Beijing with $10,863, enough to provide surgery for one of the children in her care.  Learn more about Morning Star.

The world is better because of Meredith Toering and the Samford students who helped to save a life.
