Mission
When a child or teenager has a serious medical condition, everyone in the family is affected. For almost 30 years, Starlight Children's Foundation has dedicated itself to helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. Starlight's programs have been proven to distract children from their pain, help them better understand and manage their illnesses, and connect families facing similar challenges so that no one feels alone. Through a network of offices around the globe, Starlight provides ongoing support to children, parents and siblings through an array of outpatient, hospital-based and Web offerings.
