“Stars Guitars reminds me that when stories and community come together, marketing becomes a human connection rather than a campaign.”

Stars Guitars

A cause I’ve supported for more than a decade.

Stars Guitars is an annual fundraising event supporting pediatric cancer survivors through the Charles A. Main, M.D. Pediatric Cancer Survivor Scholarship Fund at Beaumont Health. I’ve been honored to volunteer since 2009, helping plan, promote, and grow this incredible event.

What I Do

  • Marketing strategy & grassroots outreach

  • Sponsorship support & guitar acquisitions

  • On-site event assistance

  • Community engagement

Why It Matters

Together, the event has helped raise $400,000+ for pediatric cancer survivors pursuing education and new beginnings.
