ZipGive Text to Give program is proudly assisting the the STARS organization in their fundraising through mobile Text-To-Donate fundraising!

The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) is a community-based non-profit charitable organization. About 75 per cent of funding needs are met through private donations received from individuals, service groups, businesses and corporations. An additional 25 per cent of funding is through a collaborative affiliation agreement with Alberta Health Services. The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service Foundation is the philanthropic funding arm for STARS.
The organization has operated from a Calgary base since 1985. The Edmonton base started operations in 1991. The Grande Prairie base opened in 2006. STARS collaborates closely with the fixed wing and ground ambulance services in the province for a strong Chain of Survival and coordinated pre-hospital care response. The STARS vision of saving lives is supported by four pillars: patient care and transport, emergency medical communications, education and research, and fundraising and community support.

ZipGive is pleased that the STARS organization has chosen ZipGive's Text to Give platform to support the charity's mobile fundraising and donor outreach programs.
