Karen and Ray Stark were looking for a way to support U.S. troops and improve their quality of life as they complete their important mission of freedom.  They found their own mission when they created The HUGS Project in May 2004.

Ray nominated Karen in the Points of Light Institute , and they were selected to go to Washington D.C. for the Tribute event on Monday, March 21. You can read the story of The HUGS Project in today’s Points of Light Blog post.

Congratulations, Karen and Ray!
