Starfish Celebration Luncheon: A Virtual Gathering of Friends

Friday, June 25, 2021

12:00 – 1:00 PM EST

Please join us for an hour of power, where we will share stories of impact and strength. The last year has shone a bright light on how interconnected our lives are, and we have witnessed the inspiring resilience of children, families, teachers, and communities. Together, let’s honor this determination, share our gratitude, and build a thriving tomorrow for all children.

There is no cost to attend, and you can participate virtually from anywhere! There will be an opportunity to give generously and partner with Starfish to strengthen families to create brighter futures for children. Whether you watch at work, home, or even in the park – we’re excited to welcome you. Register today and let us know you’ll be joining us.

Become a Virtual Table Host

What does it mean to be a Virtual Table Host?

While the Starfish Celebration Luncheon will be hosted virtually this year – we’re still looking to fill the “lunchroom!” Virtual table hosts will host a table, invite friends and family to attend, and be part of this special day. We suggest that tables consist of 8 to 10 people—and of course, you are welcome to host more than one table.

Your guests are welcome to watch directly via our accessible viewing link (particularly if they are in another time zone) – or – you can organize a virtual table. Some virtual table hosts may even feel safe enough to host a small viewing party in person. If you decide to gather with your friends and family virtually, feel free to set up a “watch party” using any video meeting tool that you prefer. Here are some well-known tools to consider:

Please email Beth Adas (beth@steppesolutions.com) to sign up as a Virtual Table Host and so that we can support your efforts!

As an added bonus, Virtual Table Hosts will be invited to our Pre-Event Toast with Special Friends the evening of June 22 – including a Starfish Party & Swag Box delivered to you!
