On Saturday, May 13, more than 200 guests gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Holiday Inn Downtown to raise money to support Starbridge and celebrate the good work done by our 2017 Community Award recipients.
Thanks to the support of corporate and private sponsors, and event guests, our agency raised more than $18,000. Funds raised this night will support Starbridge’s programs to connect people with the hope and the how. Thank you to everyone who made this year’s event a success!
