Here are some things the community is saying about our program. These testimonies are from past and present donors, sponsors, parents, and supporters of STAR/CSF FW. They are pictured below with their graduated or current STAR students.


Paul, President and Co-founder                Paul with his students

“STAR Sponsorship Program is providing an opportunity for parents and students to explore various educational opportunities which would not be available otherwise. The desire to provide these opportunities for parents and students is what inspired me to become a co-founder of STAR Sponsorship.”

“The STAR program has a bigger impact per dollar than any other program around. It is a blessing to be able to change lives so profoundly with seemingly such little effort. Our family gets more out of it than we could think possible.”

Peter Philpott – STAR/CSF Board of Directors and STAR Sponsor since 1998
