2012 Camp Out for Cancer
Planning is Underway

Planning is underway for our 9th annual Camp Out for Cancer at the Plymouth Fairgrounds on Septemeber 8, 2012. Our event theme is "Let's Rally the Troops........and Fight for a Cure!!" There are so many ways to get involved - from joining a planning committee for the event to forming or joining a team, to purchasing honorary luminary candles. Camp Out for Cancer is an inspiring family-friendly event that raises funds for cancer services in our community, such as transportation to medical appointments, wigs and scarves for chemotherapy patients, and much more.

Last year's event raised over $83,000 which brings our 8 year total for Camp Out fundraising to over $800,000! We hope you will join us for Camp Out for Cancer this year! We thank everyone for their generous support of this event, which allows Amador STARS to expand its services in Amador County. STARS is proud to help meet local cancer needs and assist in the search for a cure. Together, we can make a difference!

Bunco for Breast Cancer
A Roaring Success

Our "Roaring 20's" Amador County Bunco for Breast Cancer was a fun event that raised funds for local women on the cancer journey. Nearly 400 people attended the event which featured a pink ribbon store, silent and live auctions, an amazing raffle, and a gourmet dessert buffet. Thank you for your generosity! With your help, we raised nearly $22,000 for local women on the breast cancer journey.

If you would like to help on the organizing committee or donate a prize, please contact STARS at 223-1246.

Our 8 year total for bunco events is over $116,600. We are so grateful for the strong community support that allows us to provide important services to local cancer patients. In 2010, we provided over 500 van trips for chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and over 30 wigs to patients.

Amador STARS Fair Window Takes Another Blue Ribbon!

2011 Amador STARS Fair Window For several years, STARS volunteers have created a display window at the Amador County Fair. These windows are used to illustrate the annual fair theme, but more importantly spread the word about STARS services and events in the community.

In 2011, Jeannie Vodden and her team made it four first place victories in a row with their "Dancing with the Steers" theme!
