Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.
First, I want to give a big thank you to our incredible donors, funders, supporters, and staff, who continue to help us meet the needs of our clients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we are facing yet another year of this virus, we are better equipped than ever before to operate our counseling, crisis prevention, youth housing, and outreach programs safely. We will continue to take every precaution and follow county guidelines to ensure we can provide our essential services while keeping clients and staff healthy.
As we welcome the new year, I am excited to announce StarVista’s brand-new Sponsorship Portal on our website! Every year, StarVista hosts a variety of campaigns, events, and fundraisers to bring awareness to our 30 programs and raise funds to continue our work in San Mateo County. On our sponsorship portal webpage, you will find a wide variety of sponsorship and in-kind opportunities at StarVista for 2022. There are many benefits to sponsoring StarVista, including being recognized for demonstrating impact and fulfilling a commitment to improving mental health and resilience, and achieving equity so everyone can thrive. View the Sponsorship Portal here.
If you or your company are looking to learn more about these incredible sponsorship opportunities, I invite you to join me at my virtual CEO café on January 27 at 12pm. Join me and our special guest speaker, Nancy Minnig, StarVista Board Member and Co-President of SolMateo, to learn more about the ways that you or your organization can make an impact in the area(s) of our work that means the most to you, and other exciting 2022 updates. Register in advance here. I can’t wait to see you there!
Lastly, on behalf of the children, youth, adults, and families we serve, I would like to give a special thank you to our amazing gift drive and holiday donors. Your generosity ignites hope and change within our community. If you did not get a chance to make a gift, there’s still time! Make your gift here.
Wishing you a wonderful new year!
Sincerely,
Sara Larios Mitchell, Ph.D., MACP
CEO
