2026 STAR GALA

WHERE ABILITIES SHINE: GENEROSITY BLOOMS

Join Us for an Evening Where Generosity and Ability Take Center Stage

Mark your calendars for STARability Foundation’s 8th annual signature event, the 2026 STAR Gala Where Abilities Shine: Generosity Blooms. We will gather on Saturday, Feb. 7, at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón for a day of inspiration to honor our STAR participants.

The event will feature a lively and extended cocktail hour, a delicious plated dinner, an extensive silent auction and an exciting live auction that will have guests raising their paddles higher and higher.

The STAR Gala is essential to STARability’s mission of transforming the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We invite you to attend, sponsor and be recognized as we celebrate all abilities.
