Join us the 3rd weekend in September
Spend a memorable weekend in the breathtaking beauty of Starved Rock—explore unique shops, taste local wines, and enjoy the charm of the area.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 19 as we come together to honor our heroes and embrace their families at the Teal Star Event.

Our Teal Star Ceremony begins at approximately 2:00 PM at the Middle East Conflicts Memorial Wall in Marseilles—just a short drive from Starved Rock. This moving tribute will be followed by our Celebration of Life Fundraiser at James Outpost in Utica.

Make it a weekend to remember:

Lodging is available in Ottawa and Morris, Illinois.
Families with kids will love Grand Bear Resort in Utica—combine an educational journey honoring the cost of freedom with a fun afternoon cooling off at the waterpark.

Honor. Remember. Support.
Be part of a weekend that makes a difference.
