On Saturday, April 6, more than 150 guests gathered at The Strathallan to raise money to support Starbridge and salute the good work done by our 2019 Community Award recipients.
Thanks to Emcee Dino Kay, sponsors, and event guests, funds raised will benefit children and adults with disabilities in our community.
Thank you to everyone who made this year’s event a success!
