Earlier this month, Cogent Steps was a proud supporter of our local high school’s Edison Athletic Booster Club and their recent Bingo Night fundraiser, which raised over $4,000 for the Athletic Scholarship Fund and Boosters. It’s great to see the local community come together—with over 300 attendees and 50+ winners—and Cogent Steps is thrilled to be championing our student-athletes and their future. Go Eagles ??
