A Celebration of Compassion and Community

MountainStar Family Relief Nursery (MountainStar) is thrilled to announce its 10th Annual Birdies 4 Babies (B4B) Golf & Gala Fundraiser, presented by Pahlisch Homes. This highly anticipated event will take place on August 16th and 17th, offering two days of fun, excitement, and community spirit, all in support of MountainStar’s mission to prevent child abuse and neglect. 

Event Details: 

August 16th: The festivities kick off with a Golf Tournament at the prestigious Broken Top Club in Bend, OR.
