Star Charities held its annual Beef ‘n Beer benefit dinner Jan. 11 at the Ocean Pines Community Center with proceeds going to Home of the Brave, a holiday away-from-home for combat veterans and their families. The facility, founded by Tina Pearson, derives its income from donations and is open to combat veterans — and their families — who have deployed within the last 18 months in a combat setting or those currently receiving medical care for injuries sustained while in combat.
