STOCK Development Presenting sponsor for STARability 2026 Gala

STARability Foundation is thrilled to announce STOCK Development will serve as presenting sponsor of the eighth Annual STAR Gala, “Where Abilities Shine: Generosity Blooms,” on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This year’s event, which begins at 3:30 PM at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón, will illuminate abilities and support the organization’s life-changing programs, experiences and opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“As a family-owned company, we are committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work, and we are proud to support STARability Foundation and its worthy mission,” said Brian Stock, CEO of STOCK Development. “We look forward to another successful event, where we can shine a light on persons with unique abilities and all they add to our community.”

STOCK Development has been a long-time supporter of STARability’s STAR Gala. For 25 years, the company and its associates have demonstrated an enduring commitment to enhance the lives of children and families throughout Southwest Florida. In addition to STARability Foundation, STOCK’s team supports a variety of local charitable organizations, including hurricane relief efforts, American Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House Charities, CMON Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples, Habitat for Humanity, Golisano Children’s Hospital, Florida Gulf Coast University, Youth Haven, Make-A-Wish Foundation and many more.

The 2026 STAR Gala will be co-chaired by local philanthropists and sisters Jenny Haire, Barbie Kellam and Morgan Rodgers. Following a sold-out event in 2025 that raised over $3.2 million to support STARability, this year’s extraordinary event will feature a lively and extended cocktail garden party, an extensive silent auction and exciting live auction, and dancing.
