Are you longing to help with the Starry Night fundraising event but live too far from Portsmouth? No problem! You can host Starry Night in your own neck of the woods. All you need is a place, a time and date, and a theme. How about a coffee house with desserts and open mike? A pot luck supper? A pancake breakfast? A wine and cheese tasting? Thanksgiving pie baking contest? There are lots of possibilities for bringing Shoalers of all ages together for fun while raising some funds for Star Island.

We’ve already had one event: special thanks to Pelican Adam Shapiro who hosted this year’s first Starry Night, “A Great Day” in May. His outdoor battle of the bands raised about $300 from the Pels and friends in his neighborhood in Hartford.

There are no restrictions. Pick a date that works for you. We’ll help you with a mailing or email blast to the Shoalers in your area. Call us at (603) 430-6272 or email Director of Development Angela Matthews at amatthews@starisland.org to let us know your plans!
