Starkey CARES has a fantastic volunteer opportunity for our residents. We are partnering with Pack A Sack 4 Kids to put together care packages for local children in need. All you have to do is come to Cunningham at 5:30pm on Wednesday March 4 and we will have everything ready.

These care packages are vitally important to help struggling families during weekends and school breaks to supplement their food supply when the children don’t have access to school provided breakfasts and lunches.

Kids are welcome with a supervising parent. We can also sign off on volunteer hours for Jr National Honor Society tweens and HS teens!

Please join your neighbors in supporting Pasco kids in need!

What an incredible night 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Second Annual Starkey Cares Charity Gala—our guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers—for showing up with such generosity, energy, and heart. Because of you, we raised nearly $50,000, along with meaningful commitments to monthly giving that will help us continue supporting families as needs arise throughout the year.

Starkey Cares exists to support neighbors battling serious illness and individuals and families—near and far—facing unexpected hardship. Every ticket purchased, auction bid placed, bottle donated, and paddle raised directly fuels that mission and will make a real difference in someone’s life.

The evening was a beautiful reminder of what makes Starkey Ranch so special: when one of us is facing something hard, we rally together.

We’d love for you to relive the night—event photos can be viewed at the link below.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this special night and for helping Starkey Cares continue to serve with compassion and purpose.

With gratitude,
The Starkey Cares Team 💛

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Starkey CARES Announces 2nd Annual Gala on February 7, 2026, Featuring Two Platinum Sponsors: Malki Law and Starkey ER & Hospital

Odessa, FL — Starkey CARES, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting families in need within the Starkey Ranch and surrounding communities, is proud to announce its 2nd Annual Starkey CARES Gala, taking place on February 7, 2026.

Following a successful first full year of operation, Starkey CARES has continued its mission of providing confidential, dignified support to neighbors facing unexpected hardships. In 2025 alone, the organization assisted nearly 20 local families and donated more than $20,000 back into the community through direct assistance.

This year’s gala will bring together community leaders, local businesses, and residents for an elegant evening of connection, generosity, and impact. Guests will enjoy dinner, entertainment, and fundraising initiatives designed to further expand Starkey CARES’ ability to serve families in need.

Starkey CARES is honored to recognize Malki Law and Starkey ER & Hospital as the Platinum Sponsors of the 2026 Gala. Both organizations share a deep commitment to community service and advocacy, and their leadership-level support will play a vital role in making the event—and its impact—possible.

“We are incredibly grateful to both Malki Law and Starkey ER & Hospital for their generous Platinum Sponsorships,” said Alison Connors, Starkey CARES Board Member. “Their support allows us to continue helping families privately, compassionately, and at moments when it matters most.”

Starkey CARES was founded to eliminate the need for public individual fundraisers during times of crisis, allowing families to receive assistance discreetly while maintaining dignity. Through initiatives such as the annual gala, pickleball tournaments, and holiday fundraisers, the organization continues to strengthen the fabric of the community it serves.

Their commitment to accessible, community-focused healthcare is truly making a difference for local families.
