Be a S.T.A.R.
At Stand Together Against Racism (“S.T.A.R.”), our mission is to equip residents of New Canaan, CT and neighboring communities with tools and resources to understand systemic racism — including its history, root causes and the structures that perpetuate it— and to proactively advocate for racial equity and bias elimination.
2026 SOULFÊTE
A Culinary Immersion in March at Carriage Barn Arts Center in New Canaan
This year we dove into vibes and flavors at SOUL-FÊTE, S.T.A.R.’s signature annual fundraising dinner. It was a joyful evening and a mouthwatering journey crafted by Executive Chef Eric Bryson of Miss Thelma’s, a soirée tantalized taste buds and warmed souls. We savored bold flavors and a feel‑good vibe.
