Steady Steve 5K

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The Steady Steve 5K on Batesville's Westside honors the legacy of Stephen Raviscioni, who worked tirelessly with his loving wife, Autumn, to establish Our Father's Table food ministry. Stephen had also turned to running for fitness and health in a big way before COVID-19 came along. He was stricken with a severe case and we lost his graceful service to the hungry and poor.

🍽️ Mission and Impact

Autumn continues the mission at Our Father’s Table, and the Steady Steve 5K will help meet the ongoing needs of so many among us.
