Since 2001, Randall &Sonnier hosts an annual holiday party for children involved in the judicial foster care system and their families. At the party, the children have a day filled with fun activities, food, and each child receives at least one (1) gift for the holiday season. R&S has been successful in receiving contributions from the Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Ravens, Cal Ripken Foundation, Washington Redskins, Washington Wizards, Washington Mystics, University of Maryland basketball team, Morgan State University, WWE, 92Q radio station, DNS Technology, Set the Captives Free Outreach Center and other local churches, masters, judges, attorneys, law firms, and numerous local businesses.

In May 2007, the partners of R&S formed A Step Closer Foundation, Inc., which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to bringing foster children a step closer to their destiny by advancing their special talents, gifts and interest. For more information on A Step Closer Foundation, please visit www.astepcloser.org. Numerous initiatives have been implemented including the Trash Bags to Travel Bag initiative where children in foster care are provided with travel bags, so the children don’t have to travel with their belongings in trash bags. The Maryland State Bar Association recognized A Step Closer Foundation and the partners of R&S in a segment titled “Beyond the Bar.” Click here to view the video segment. In 2011, A Step Closer held their 1st Talent and Award Ceremony. At this event, five talented foster youth had an opportunity to showcase their individual talents. Additionally, 4 individuals and 1 organization were honored for the contributions they have made to improve the lives of children in foster care. Visit www.astepcloser.org for more information.
