Donor Spotlight: Tyson & Mendes
The Season of Giving is also a time to give thanks to all those who have helped us throughout the year. The generosity of our donors makes our work possible. Without their support, we would not be able to offer transformational programming so vital to changing the lives of our students.

During the entirety of 2020, the law firm of Tyson & Mendes adopted First Star as their charity of choice. They turned every Tuesday into a 'GivingTuesday' and as a result, their associates raised over $12,000 through their national efforts. On top of that, their founding partners have pledged to MATCH that gift by year's end! We are truly humbled by their tremendous generosity.

From the entire First Star family, we THANK YOU!
The Reason to Give
This is the story of Maryori, one of our amazing scholars highlighted in our recent ABC Nightline feature. This has been a hard year for all of our students, but her courage in the face of so much uncertainty is awe-inspiring to watch. Her outlook on life and hopes for the future fill the hearts of all those around her with warmth.

This time of year can be the loneliest for our students and they don't always know how to reach out for help. First Star is always here for them, providing a sense of home, family, and connection to others when they need it most.

Make a difference in their lives today.
