“The COVID19 situation has limited what Albertans can do and experience this year, which has hurt the province’s tourism industry,” said Debora Rice-Salomons, Co-Chair of FOSEA. “We are a group of volunteers who want to help raise spirits by giving people something to get excited about while boosting tourism and supporting the life-saving work of STARS.”
“As a non-profit organization, we rely on support from organizations like this and the generosity of Albertans to ensure STARS is there for the next patient in need,” said Andrea Robertson, STARS president and CEO. “Money raised through this raffle will allow STARS to excel in the level of care we give by providing innovative technology and tools for the highest trained medical professionals and crew members.”
Our goal for the Friends of STARS Experience Alberta project is to raise $100,000 for STARS. We invite Albertans to purchase tickets to support STARS, Alberta Tourism and Raise their Spirits as they Experience Alberta in 2021
