WHY SPONSOR
Your sponsorship makes the work possible.
Strength for the Journey is an annual community forum on caregiving, aging, serious illness, grief, and family preparedness — the conversations most families put off until they can't. Sponsorship turns those conversations into accessible education and practical tools people take home.
The forum itself
An accessible community education event with knowledgeable speakers, featured authors, and professional resources.
Take-home tools
Practical educational materials, planning tools, and resource guides that families keep long after the event.
Wider access
Education on caregiving, aging, hospice and palliative care, grief, planning and legacy — reaching families who need it most.
Beyond one day
Programming, materials, technology and venue needs, plus future Starworks Foundation community outreach.
THE 2026 FORUM
What's in Your Endowment?
Presented in recognition of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and National Grief Awareness Month.
Many families have wills, insurance policies and financial plans, and remain unprepared for the deeply personal decisions that come with aging, illness, caregiving, and end of life. Important information often exists only in someone's memory.
This year's forum expands the idea of endowment beyond finances — to the values, stories, family history, relationships, preparation, wisdom, and decisions we communicate before they must be made for us.
