Starlight is dedicated to transforming the lives of seriously
ill children and teens through imaginative programs that educate,
uplift spirits, foster a sense of community and help alleviate
the pain and fear of a prolonged illness.
Starlight could not exist without the generosity of a wide
variety of people who care deeply about sick kids. Together,
with your support, we can reach out to touch their lives in
profound ways - at a time when they need it most. We invite
you to join us!
How does your donation help seriously ill children and
their families?
- Provide joy and distraction for hospitalized kids with
bedside access to a Starlight Fun Center - mobile units
with a flat-screen TV, DVD player and Nintendo Wii Game
System.
- Provide a child with access to World, a safe and secure
online network providing peer support and fun activities
where hospitalized kids can be distracted from pain, fear
and loneliness.
- Provide a teen with cancer with access to our Coping with
Chemo program - a series of online webisodes designed to
help kids and teens find positive ways to deal with their
serious condition and treatment.
- Provide a hospitalized teen with a week of access to a
PC Pal - an internet ready laptop computer so they can stay
connected to their friends, do homework, and connect to
Starlight online network of custom designed programs.
- Allow a seriously ill child or teen to participate in
a Starlight Great Escapes event, which includes ball games,
movies and picnics. Because childhood illness takes a toll
on the whole family, Starlight provides much welcomed opportunities
for sick kids to spend "normal" family time together - away
from the hospital.
