About S.T.A.R
S.T.A.R stands for Special Tactics Aid and Rescue, a 501c3 (Non-profit) organization that four friends created in response to the tornados that ripped through Northwest Arkansas on March 31, 2023. We discovered that Arkansas lacked a well equipped and well trained search and rescue team and decided it was time that the community step up and take action.
