Soirée Under the Stars is the Princeton-Blairstown Center’s annual signature fundraising event, which benefits PBC's award-winning Summer Bridge Program. Summer Bridge provides hundreds of students from historically marginalized communities with quality summer programming designed to combat summer learning loss with engaging, hands-on curriculum focused on literacy, social & emotional learning, STEM, and service learning as well as unforgettable outdoor experiences. 

Princeton-Blairstown Center will present the 2025 Frank Broderick Award to Eleanor Horne and the 2025 Reverend David H. McAlpin, Jr. Community Champion Award to Johnson & Johnson.
