Program 1 [2020]
AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020, NEARLY ALL PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES WERE CURTAILED DUE TO COVID-19. THIS ENABLED THE FOUNDATION TO ADAPT BY DOING A VARIETY OF VIRTUAL EVENTS. PAPER STAR TEMPLATES COULD BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEBSITE TO CARRY ON THE HOPE AND HEALING CREATED FOR PARTICIPANTS BY STARS OF HOPE. EVENTS WERE HELD VIRTUALLY AND WERE ESPECIALLY POPULAR WITH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DEPARTMENTS. PICTURES OF THE STARS CREATED AT EACH EVENT WERE THEN ARRANGED IN COLLAGE AND MADE INTO A BANNER. THESE BANNERS WERE SENT TO MANY HOSPITALS IN APPRECIATION OF THEIR HEROIC EFFORTS IN FIGHTING THE PANDEMIC. ANOTHER VIRTUAL EFFORT INVOLVED THE STARS OF HOPE TV WITH STORIES OF HOPE AND INSPIRATION, AND INTERVIEWS WITH EXPERTS, LEADERS AND EVERYDAY HEROES SHARED IN A ZOOM CONFERENCE LED BY THE STARS OF HOPE PROJECT MANAGER. ADDRESSING THE ADDED BURDEN OF SOCIAL DISTANCING TO THE ELDERLY, THE STARSHINE CONNECTION WAS CREATED TO MATCH SENIORS WITH CHILDREN WHO CREATE STARS BASED ON THE INTERESTS IDENTIFIED BY A SPECIFIC SENIOR AND THEN GIVEN TO HIM OR HER TO OVERCOME SOME OF THE FEELINGS OF ISOLATION THEY ARE EXPERIENCING.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$511.6KArts-Based Crisis Intervention
