GROWING STRONGER TOGETHER

The virtual Field of STARS, presented by Bayer, went live Tuesday July 21st, 2020, and included a concert with Canadian country music band The Washboard Union, a virtual STARS helicopter and Emergency Link Centre tour, a live silent auction hosted by Ritchie Bros., and past STARS patient stories.

Attendees had the opportunity to spend real time with The Washboard Union as they performed live songs, and to be part of the banter back and forth as the band answered media questions and shared stories.

The live auction and virtual concert raised $180,000 to support STARS operations in Saskatchewan.

The best part of a digital concert is, the show still goes on, which means you can attend now, learn about STARS in Saskatchewan, and donate, all by visiting www.fieldofstarsevent.ca.
