Starlight Children's Foundation

Starlight Children's Foundation has devoted their 30 year history to raising the quality of life of children facing serious diagnoses and devastating injuries.  Their programs center on entertainment, education, and family acitivities all offering coping strategies for the pain, fear, and isolation that often companions prolonged illnesses.  The foundation depends on the expertise of pediatrics, technology, and the arts to lift the lives of sick children and their families--seeing a child through diagnosis through the end of medical treatment.

Programs include:

• Starlight World-Teens connecting with other teens that are at home or in the hospital
• Great Escapes-Families enjoy ball games, cruises, picnics, spa days, and movie premieres
• Mobile Entertainment Centers-hospitalized children get access to DVD players and video game consoles
• PC Pals-laptops with educational software provided to hospitalized children
