As we wrap up our Beyond the Ride campaign, which ran from September 2024 through June 30, 2025, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible generosity of our community. Thanks to you—our individual donors, matching gift partners, and grant funders—we not only met our $75,000 goal, we surpassed it. Together, we raised just over $89,000.
This campaign was about more than dollars—it was about dignity, access, and opportunity. Because of your support, STARS has been able to:
- Keep our services accessible to our participants, regardless of financial circumstances
- Maintain the high standards of care and engagement our programs are known for
- Continue offering transportation to and from our site-based programs completely free of charge
The success of this campaign allowed us to take a thoughtful look at our transportation program and build sustainable solutions that will support our participants well into the future.
To every person who gave—thank you. Every single dollar will be used with purpose and care. You didn’t just help fund rides—you helped bring smiles for miles.
With heartfelt appreciation,
The STARS Team
