It’s been 40 years of STARS in the air saving lives, and the celebration of that important anniversary begins as STARS launches its 32nd annual STARS Calendar.
For this pivotal year, the STARS Calendar will take a bit of a retrospective look at key medical crews and Very Important Patients (VIPs) from previous calendars with updates.
STARS’ partnership with Viterra has been an important one, helping the organization to raise over $6 million with its calendar campaigns.
“More than a funding tool, our calendar helps connect our supporters with our mission — this year’s calendar is a collection of stories that highlight the resilience and strength and incredible journeys of our patients and our team,” said Katherine Emberly, STARS president and CEO. “With Viterra’s continued support, we have been able to produce and share the calendar and most importantly, continue providing critical care to those who need us.”
For the past 10 years, Viterra has covered the costs of printing, representing a contribution of over $2.5 million. The calendar has served as one of the cornerstones of STARS fundraising and community awareness through the past 3 plus decades.
“Over the last ten years we’ve been proud partners of STARS, supporting the lifesaving work they provide to patients across Western Canada,” said Kyle Jeworski, CEO of Viterra Canada. “Our annual calendar campaign is a great way to help patients tell their stories, while helping STARS raise the funds necessary to ensure they can continue providing world class medical services to those in need.”
The 2025 STARS Calendar is now available for purchase at STARS Calendar Campaign with all proceeds going directly to supporting STARS’ operations.
