Today’s the day your support will have DOUBLE the impact, with all donations matched by our generous Starlight partners*.
Your generosity can help sick kids like Thea and her family, who were faced with a heartbreaking eye cancer diagnosis, and painful ongoing treatments.
Despite the scary stinging eye drops Thea endures at each appointment, she is always excited to go to the hospital to spend time with Captain Starlight! Instead of being traumatised by her experience, Thea’s mum says she is “living her best life” thanks to the positive distraction and fun Captain Starlight has brought to Thea’s journey.
And that’s the positive impact you can have for other families facing the trauma of serious illness by making a tax-deductible donation today!
Starlight partners are matching the first $20,000 in donations made on 27th June 2023 until 11:59PM AEST or until funds run out. A tax receipt will be emailed to you once your donation is processed.
