The Grant-A-Starr Foundation

The Grant-A-Starr Foundation is a non-profit organization for the purpose of saving children’s lives through the advancement of rapid detection of life-threatening childhood infections such as encephalitis and meningitis. The Foundation was created as a result of the loss of a child, Grant Starr, at Commonwealth Elementary School in Sugar Land, Texas.  The diagnostic tools were simply not adequate to identify Grant’s illness and save his life. 

The Annual Fun Run & Walk

The Annual Fun Run & Walk is organized and managed by students across Fort Bend County schools, with many of the student were Grant’s friends and classmates. The teens have a passion to raise funds for the advancement of rapid diagnostic testing, which will help to reduce the time to identify a child’s illness from days or weeks to mere hours. Come participate for this worthy cause. Enjoy the Post-Race Party including entertainment provided by local bands, snacks and refreshments served by local establishments and games and prizes in the Kids Zone. Awards will be presented to the top finishers in each event.
