Starlight Children's Foundation

Starlight Children's Foundation delivers happiness to seriously ill children and their families. Every 30 seconds, a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. These children are often scared, confused, lonely and facing serious medical treatments. That's where Starlight comes in. Starlight programs turn a child's pain, fear and stress into laughter, fun and joy by providing seriously ill children the best in entertainment, education and one-of-a-kind experiences – because sick kids are still kids. We believe all children deserve to enjoy the magic, wonder and happiness of childhood, and we're committed to providing Starlight programs to every seriously ill child in our network of more than 800 children's hospitals and community health partners across the US. Since 1983, Starlight has brought smiles to more than 16 million critically, chronically and terminally ill kids and their families..
