Mission

Starlight Children's Foundation NY*NJ*CT helps seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. We touch the lives of a sick child and family all along their journey through a serious illness, from the time of diagnosis all the way through, in the hospital and at home. Families become part of our community and we work hard to meet their needs in a wide variety of ways. We create a sense of community between families who are having similar experiences by providing opportunities for them to escape the hospital, doctors, nurses, needles and treatments and doing something fun where they get to join others and just feel normal again - perhaps even forgetting that anyone is sick for a short while.
