When you support the STAR Center, you support better overall health and quality of life for everyone in the La Crosse area. You support an array of adaptive and modified exercise and recreation programs that allow all community members to benefit from active participation. You support helping people of all abilities thrive. Please consider giving a financial gift or gift in kind to the STAR Center.
YOUR support will CHANGE lives.
Physical activity is important to our health. Due to disability or medical issues, many in our community face barriers that prevent them from participating in traditional exercise programs and recreation. Consequently, they have multiple secondary health issues. Not due to their disability, but because of the LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.
