The StarGala is a crucial fundraising event for the Lone Star College Foundation, which helps remove financial barriers for students throughout their educational journeys. The foundation has awarded nearly $30 million in scholarships to over 27,000 students since its inception in 1991. This year's event aims to continue this legacy of giving, with all proceeds going towards supporting scholarships and other programs that benefit Lone Star College System students.
Leadership Takes the Stage
Three leaders from Houston Methodist will co-chair this year's StarGala: Dr. Kerrie Guerrero, DNP, MBA, RN, NE-BC; Dr. Caroline Mascarenhas, DNP, RN, NEA-BC; and Dr. Nicole Twine, Ph.D., APRN, ACNP-BC, NE-BC. These accomplished professionals bring a wealth of experience in nursing leadership and are passionate about supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals.
The Future of Education
According to Dr. Guerrero, Mascarenhas, and Twine, 'the future of our industry—and so many others—depends on the students who are currently deciding what their next step is going to be.' They emphasize the importance of supporting students in their pursuit of higher education, whether they're coming from high school or looking to advance their careers. The StarGala is a testament to the community's commitment to making quality college education more attainable for all.
The annual StarGala promises to be an unforgettable evening of giving and celebration. With its rich history, dedicated leadership, and unwavering commitment to supporting students, this event is a shining example of the power of community-driven philanthropy.
