Each year, more than 30 million children in the U.S. suffer from a critical, chronic, or terminal illness. Many of these kids experience long hospital stays, painful medical treatments, and sometimes a scary and uncertain future. Starlight’s mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children. Just because you’re sick, doesn’t mean you stop being a child, and it shouldn’t mean missing out on all the fun of childhood.
Since 1982, they have helped more than 60 million sick kids in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom by providing programs that offer the best in entertainment, education, and innovative technology. Starlight works with more than 800 children’s hospitals, clinics, camps, and other community partners to turn a child’s pain, fear, and stress into fun, joy, and laughter — because a sick kid is still a kid at heart.
Starlight devotes 85 cents of every dollar to programs that brighten the lives of seriously ill children, and they are a top-rated nonprofit with Charity Navigator, GreatNonprofits, CharityWatch, and GuideStar.
In the coming months, Starlight is launching an awesome new program called Starlight Brave Gowns that transforms ugly, uncomfortable, and revealing hospital robes into fun, comfy, and brightly colored gowns that empower and bring joy to sick kids. Pretty cool, right?
