Daystar was proud to participate in Rochester’s Benches on Parade.  Thanks to our good friends at Dixon Schwabl, Daystar’s bench was designed and painted by local artist Heather Heffernan and featured the names of our favorite “stars.” Donors had the opportunity to honor a special child, parent, friend or other loved one by placing their name inside a shining star on the bench.    Our bench, appropriately named “Pure Grace,” was on display at Nazareth College throughout the summer.  The project raised $10,000 and invaluable community awareness for Daystar.

We are delighted to share that Daystar will be the permanent home of “Pure Grace.”  While it will surely be a wonderful addition to our Lochnavar home, we look forward to having it adorn a new Daystar, as a welcoming sign to all who visit.  We hope the bench will serve as a place of rest, a spot to share a cozy conversation with a Daystar friend, and a reminder of the generosity of our countless supporters.
