At Starlight, we know there are serious benefits to having fun for sick kids!
When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, life can become consumed by hospital and treatment. It’s scary and overwhelming.
That's why Starlight exists. Through play, creativity, and social connection, we create the fun and happiness sick kids and their families need to get through their toughest times. Who knew hospital could be a happy place? Captain Starlight did, that’s who!!
Happiness is clinically proven to help sick kids cope better and feel better, and that’s good news for their health and wellbeing!
From Captain Starlight creating fun for sick kids in hospitals and remote community clinics, to Livewire creating engagement and connection opportunities for teens, and Starlight Wishes giving sick kids and their families something amazing to look forward to, Starlight creates happiness when and where it is needed most.
