This year's event will feature Creedence Clearwater Revisited. They talked about how this event benefits The Charles A. Main M.D. Pediatric Cancer Survivor Scholarship Fund of Beaumont Children's Hospital.

The program also honors outstanding achievements made by current and former patients of the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Department at Beaumont Children's Hospital in Royal Oak. Dr. Main explained the history of Stars Guitars and the reasons behind it coming together, why guitars were chosen as the silent auction items and who was the first person Dr. Main reached out to for a guitar.
