Save the Date: 12th Annual Taste of the Stars Gala!
August 24, 2011The majority of the Starlight Children’s Foundation MidAtlantic’s funding comes from the annual gala, featuring a silent and live auction. In the past, the gala has raised over half a million dollars and with the help of Gala Chair, Jim Bell, will raise even more to increase programming for seriously ill children and their families. Starlight MidAtlantic provides over 2 million hours annually to 200,000 seriously ill children and their families receiving treatment at 154 hospitals in six states, living with diagnoses such as cancer/leukemia, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and cerebral palsy. Many have more than one diagnosis and some take as many as 50 medications per day.
Taste of the Stars Gala will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2011 at the five-star Four Seasons in Georgetown. This will be Executive Director Barbara Schreiber’s second Gala and the Organization’s Twelfth, “It’s an amazing evening shared with people committed to creating fun for families facing the unimaginable: children battling for their young lives.”
