Heather Pope Foster Family Overwhelmed by Outpouring of Community Support
Earlier this month, Starling Marine hosted their annual Summer Celebration fundraiser for the family of Heather Pope Foster. Raising the most money in the event’s history – thanks to the overwhelming support of the Wilmington community and businesses, Starling Marine is overjoyed to present a check for $18,000 to benefit the Foster Family.
The Summer Celebration fundraising festivities included a dinner catered by MOI, an auction of over 100 items, more than 800 event t-shirts sold across the United States, and a one-day family fishing tournament in Wrightsville Beach.
Bryan Starling commented, “We raised more money this year than ever before – and by a long shot. It was a great event with approximately 425 guests attending the dinner & auction, and just under 30 boats fishing in the tournament. We are humbled by the number of people that joined us in celebrating Heather, and are especially thankful for everyone who volunteered and donated to make this year’s Summer Celebration the best ever.”

Starling Marine would like to invite you to the 3rd annual Summer Celebration on August 4th, 2012. Last year’s fundraiser was a huge success. Thanks to local businesses and our community, we were able to raise over $9,000 towards medical bills for the Saggese family.
This year’s event will be a family fundraiser to benefit the Foster family. Heather Pope Foster was a local woman who lost her battle on June 2nd to Stage IV Lung Cancer. We are currently looking for donations for this year’s silent auction. We hope that your business will again donate to this important fundraiser. Put the date on your calendar so that you can join us in celebrating the life of Heather Pope Foster as well as to help raise money for her family and their medical expenses. You can learn more about Heather’s battle on the 2012 Cause page.
