We engage our clients cognitively, physically, socially, and spiritually - the whole person. We are also developing specially modified business enterprises where we slow down the pace, modify tasks, and provide staff and volunteer support to enable these adults to enjoy meaningful, productive activities. When individuals with Down Syndrome, Autism, or other special needs finish high school, with rare exception, they do not go on to college or go on to pursue careers. Most will never drive a car or live in their own apartment. These adults often face a future of isolation, boredom, and depression. Suncoast Stars Community (SSC) is dismantling the status quo for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by helping them unlock their potential and experience abundant living. We recognize that adults with IDD thrive best in a structured environment with regular routines, stimulating activities, and peer support. SSC was formed in 2023 to address this important need in our community. In 2024, SSC served 14 individuals, including welcoming a second individual in a wheelchair into our Work & Enrichment program. This is an increase of two participants versus year-end 2023. We also expanded programming to two days per week, following our launch in 2023 where we operated only one day per week. Additionally, to support our current clients and prepare for further growth, we hired two individuals in 2024, including a master's level special education teacher who is also a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. We engaged 21 volunteers, an increase of 10 compared to 2023; we launched our first business enterprise - a greeting card studio where are clients are being trained to produce high quality greeting cards which are made available for donation; and we held our first fundraising event - a 1 mile walk and Family Fun Fest with approximately 125 people in attendance. 0 36149 36149 Julie Audet Director, Secretary 2 0 0 0 Mary Lou Fenton Director, Vice Chairman 30 0 0 0 Robert Fenton Director, Chairman, Treasurer 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL Robert Fenton PO Box 21074 Bradenton FL 342041074 7204800950 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 11580 131124 142704 0 0 0 4690 21705 26395 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16270 152829 169099 0 0 0 1540 5040 6580 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1540 5040 6580 162519 0 0 0 0 756 756 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 756 756 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16270 153585 169855 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Program supplies;4741|Insurance;1703|Donations;1300|Payroll processing and recruiting;930|Bank and filing fees;862|Advertising and promotion;784|Staff and volunteer appreciation;422|Office supplies;397|Information Technology;1218|Miscellaneous;294^Total;12651^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Accounts receivable;100^Total;100^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Accrued expenses;86^Total;86^
