Reasons to Give
Fundraise for First Star
Less than 50% of youth in foster care graduate from high school, and less than 10% enroll in college. First Star is changing these statistics. For scholars who complete the First Star Academy program, 99% graduate from high school and 88% enroll in college. This program is making a huge difference and you can help us fundraise by running a peer-to-peer fundraiser. Below are some tools to fundraise for Giving Tuesday as well as throughout the year.
Giving Season Fundraisers
Join us this holiday season in uplifting the lives of young people in foster care, many of whom have been exceptionally challenged by the pandemic and ongoing inflation. Your support lifts up some of the most vulnerable in our society, and prevents outcomes often associated with foster care, such as homelessness and incarceration. Here are some tools to help you run a peer-to-peer fundraiser this Giving Tuesday and Holiday Season.
