Dear Friends,

Since our incorporation on Valentine’s Day in 2000, the First Star Family has been steadfast in its commitment to uplifting communities and creating meaningful change. Since launching the First Star Academy Program in 2011, we have been proud to empower high school-age youth in foster care by providing the tools, resources, and unwavering support they need to transition successfully into adulthood.

This incredible work would not be possible without you.

To our friends, supporters, and donors: thank you for standing with us. Together, we are transforming the lives of thousands of youth in care each year and building stronger, brighter futures—not just for them, but for their communities as well.

Your generosity has been a beacon of hope, spreading love and light to the young people we serve. For that, we are endlessly grateful.

As we celebrate this season of giving, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and warmest wishes for a joyous holiday season.

With sincere appreciation,

Your First Star Family
