Our Story

STARS is an independent organization that is staffed entirely by volunteers with established relationships with SOAR, an organization in Bluffton and Hilton Head that fosters the Special Olympics and other activities.  STARS will continue its sponsorship of the “Hammerhead Sharks,” a swim team that trains at the Beaufort YMCA, that competes at local, regional and at the State level.  In the future, STARS may expand its Special Olympics support by establishing teams in other disciplines.

STARS held our first event in September 2018, by hosting a Yoga Class at Artizen Yoga of Beaufort.  In October, STARS held a fishing event at Habersham for our STARS friends. In January 2018, STARS held their kickoff Dance, hosted by the Low Country Shaggers, Tommy & Sheri O’Brien, at the Charles Lind Brown Activity Center.  Please check our calendar often to view upcoming events.
