Your partnership
makes all the difference
Your generosity can bring hope and connection to those who need it most.
Hopelessness • Loneliness • Isolation
These struggles are rampant in our community, and the sense of social connection is only declining.
Over half of US adults report feeling lonely [1]
Among young adults, time spent with friends has decreased by 70% over the last two decades [2]
29% of households are single-person, up from 13% in 1960. [3]
These feelings of hopelessness and loneliness have devastating consequences:
In the year 2022 alone, 1765 people tragically committed suicide in the state of New York. [4]
Your generosity can bring hope and connection to those who need it most.

STAR’s Impact
What our listeners have to say about their experience with STAR:
“STAR 99.1 Is always on when I am in my car and on my phone when I am not driving and can listen. I listen whenever I can. It's amazing how the songs that are played are always at the right moment in time when needed. It's a blessing! The staff is amazing! I also love the inspirational stories.”

“It brings joy to my life. There are times I'm just running through life and STAR 99.1 regrounds me and helps me to refocus on what's really important and that's my relationship with Christ and everything else is second. It gets me to then connect with my Father God and His inner peace and love just radiates within me. Everything will be alright!”
Mildred

“When I hear your songs on the radio, I am reminded that the Lord sees me and he loves me. It may not feel like I matter to others in my life, but I know I matter to the Lord. It's like he's in the car with me or speaking to me with every song. I am encouraged to hold onto his hand. Thank you!"
