To Be a Star 2010 - 2011 Foundation

Sand and peach were the gorgeous colors highlighting
the theme Holiday Party by the Sea, the Be A Star
Foundation's 7th annual fundraiser. Children's cancer
crusader and Be A Star Foundation president, Julie Healey
once again opened up the doors of her magnicent ocean
front mansion to her guests on the 4th of December, 2010
to experience the joy and fun of a beach and ocean
fantasy while at the same time raising well over $450
000.00 for the family's foundation.
The gala was hosted under white tents that owed from
the house and was decked in beautiful items of ocean and
beach décor. These included starsh, coral and a variety of
exquisite shells. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous buet while
enjoying the music of a pianist/vocalist, guitarist, and
saxophonist. Once again The Capital Grille served their
infamous Stoli Doli cocktails, Cheney Brothers, Inc.
graciously donated all the food, and Brio Tuscan Grille
served a few of their signature appetizers.
The annual gala, which is now in its seventh year was
created by the Healey family, who after experiencing the
devastating illness of their young daughter Daisy to
leukemia, and witnessing the eect it had on the families
of children with cancer, decided to give back to the
community by helping support children and their families
cope with impact of diagnosis, treatment and recovery
from cancer. The family turned their annual holiday party
for friends and family into a successful fundraiser.
Julie Healey explains, "I know we are in an economic
downturn but cancer in children does not go away. It is an
ongoing heartache for families and it is especially in these
tough times that families need help more than ever in
dealing with day to day Maya Johnson with her
living expenses."
