Mission Statement
Helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities.
Description
The Starlight Great Escapes program gives seriously ill children and their families a few hours of escape from their illness.
The sick child gets to have fun in an environment where they are not singled out. They aren't the only child in a wheel chair or without hair or hooked up to some type of medical device.
Parents get a chance to network with other parents who are experiencing the same things they are. Parents also get a break.
Siblings get a chance to be a part of the happening. Sometimes siblings of seriously ill children feel left out. They don't at our events!
We do all the planning, take care of all the details and cover all the costs. All our families have to do is show up and have a good time.
