Create a Lasting Legacy by Supporting STaRS

Support comes in the form of monetary donations, charitable contributions of medical equipment and supplies, and volunteer efforts. Your support will help STaRS advance the knowledge and enable the practice of reconstructive surgical techniques for children in developing countries who would not otherwise have access to this advanced medical care.

How You Can Create a Lasting Legacy Through a Monetary Donation

Your monetary donation will help to subsidize travel expenses for the STaRS medical teams, enabling them to perform on-site surgical education. It will also help to pay for needed medical equipment and supplies that are not otherwise donated. Your donation helps create a lasting legacy so local medical professionals in developing countries can advance their own skills in meeting the need for pediatric reconstructive surgeries. Over time, thousands of children can be treated as a direct result of each educational visit.

STaRS is committed to making every dollar count. STaRS' volunteers donate all of their time.
