32 years of academic success. HOPE starts with YOU!
The Transformational Work of the STAR House Foundation (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 883)
In Roswell, Georgia, hundreds of children face steep challenges outside the classroom. Those challenges don’t stop when the school day ends. That’s where the STAR House Foundation comes in.
In this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, host John Ray features our very own- Windy Nicholson, Maureen Curtis, and Alejandra Torchia of STAR House. Thank you John for showcasing our live-changing program- the importance of our program offering academic help, character development, emotional support, healthy snacks, and consistent encouragement from our trusted staff.

STAR House Events
Big Hat Bingo- October 1, 2025
Roswell Beer Festival
Thank you for your continued support of STAR House and the Roswell Beer Festival. After thoughtful evaluation, the STAR House Board and Leadership Team have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the 2026 Roswell Beer Festival and postpone the event to spring 2027. For the past 12 years, STAR House staff and dedicated community volunteers have poured their time, energy, and heart into this festival for one reason: to raise critical funds that help guide underserved children to greater success. As we look ahead, we recognize the event needs room to grow and evolve. Rising operational costs have also impacted our ability to deliver the high-quality experience our guests, sponsors, and supporters deserve. Pausing in 2026 allows us to reimagine the festival from the ground up and return in 2027 with a renewed vision—something fresh, engaging, and reflective of what our community is asking for. We’ll be sending a short survey soon and would truly value your input as we shape what comes next. We are deeply grateful to our local breweries, distributors, sponsors, attendees, and volunteers for helping make the Roswell Beer Festival such a meaningful tradition. We are committed to coming back stronger than ever in 2027 with an event that better serves our guests—and most importantly, the children STAR House supports.
Make a Difference
Real Impact
I thank STAR House for the tremendous opportunity you have afforded my son. As a single working parent, it was very hard to find after-school care that included homework guidance. As an only child, my son needed a chance to interact with other kids in his age group outside of school time. My son really enjoys the time and teaching that STAR House provides. It is simply God sent.
