A Cause represents a charitable organization which uses donations to make an impact in the world.
When a child or teenager has a serious medical condition, everyone in the family is affected. The kids, their parents and siblings struggle, in different ways, to grapple with the intrusion of illness or serious injury into their lives.
We understand what families go through when a child is sick, and how important it is for families to find relief from constant worry and isolation. Our entertainment, education and family activity 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 more than 30 offices, Starlight provides ongoing support to children, parents and siblings in all U.S. states and Canadian provinces with an array of outpatient, hospital-based and Web offerings. Programs are also delivered internationally through affiliates in Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom.
The way we see it, while doctors work to restore a child’s health, Starlight Starbright works to restore the entire family’s spirit.
I was once a child with a life threatening illness and I know what it's like to watch your family suffer. Don't sit back and let other's suffer the same way my family had to... do your part and help. It doesn't cost you a penny, just a few moments of your time. Just click the gold star.
