First Annual Starkey Cares Gala Raises More Than $50,000 for Individuals In Need
The Starkey Cares team would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the generous support for our First Annual Starkey Cares Charity Gala. The event raised a total of $50,930—a tremendous accomplishment that will directly benefit those in our community who are battling serious illnesses or facing hardship.
We are excited to share that these funds will be used to further our mission of supporting residents in need, as well as assisting individuals throughout the community and beyond who are facing challenging circumstances.
Additionally, we are proud to announce that the funds raised from our successful 50/50 raffle will be donated to our incredible community partner, One Community Now. This organization is doing vital work to support children, families, and veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, helping them improve their health and economic circumstances.
Together, we are creating a meaningful and lasting impact. We are truly grateful for the community's support, and we hope you will continue to stand with us as we work to uplift and empower those in need!
Stay tuned for more details for our 2026 Starkey Cares Charity Gala, tentatively planned for February 7th, 2026, at Heritage Springs Country Club in Trinity, Florida.
