Defiance STARs Team would like to thank you for all the donations and support for our local deployed soldiers.

With your donation we will send boxes of needed items to the 1487th Transportation Co Troop. The troop of 155 local soldiers was sent out of Piqua, OH on July 3rd, 2025 to the Middle East on a mission; they will remain there for about a year.

Have a happy and safe holiday season. 😊

JM STARS Defiance teamed up with Defiance The Victory Center collecting items for welcome bags to those visiting the center for the first time. Lisa Spitnale Rue and Alicia Leithauser took time out of their day to help fill gift bags!

The Victory Center offers individual hands-on therapies from date of diagnosis until six months post-treatment. Participants may schedule three hands-on therapies per month on a once a week basis. Additionally, support services and group programs are available to current participants and all cancer survivors in the community. Services are also offered to support family members through their journey.
