Before things get too serioushere at Rock On Vinyl, I thought it might be fun to post a song at the end of each month, that could be categorized as being either Weird, Obscure, Crazy or just plain Korny.
In as much as the Christmas Season is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, it is also a time for giving gifts to friends and family. In light of this, I thought it appropriate to draw everyone's attention to this wonderful charity and perhaps sway your sense of giving to this foundation.
What Starlight Foundation does:
How Can You Help:
Starlight's Mission:
At Starlight we know that happiness matters to sick kids facing the pain, fear and stress of serious illness. That's why for over 30 years we've worked in partnership with health professionals to bring the fun, joy and laughter that helps sick kids be kids. We help kids of all ages regardless of disability, injury or illness because what happens in childhood lasts a lifetime.
We believe in happiness because it matters to sick kids’ health.
When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, life can become consumed by hospital and treatment. It’s scary and overwhelming. That's why Starlight exists. Through play, creativity, and social connection, we create the fun and happiness seriously ill children and their families need to get through their toughest times. Starlight programs:
- Transform the hospital and healthcare experience of kids and young people across Australia.
- Connect kids, teens and families, helping to overcome the social isolation associated with serious illness.
- Entertain by providing moments of positive disruption which help to replace pain, boredom and stress, with joy, laughter and fun.
At Starlight we know what happens in childhood lasts a lifetime. Positive psychology research shows happiness is integral to our overall wellbeing and quality of life. It matters in the moment, and it matters long term. As a vital partner in the healthcare system, we create moments of happiness every day in hospitals and communities across Australia.
Happiness helps sick kids feel more positive about hospital and treatment. It boosts their resilience, helping them cope with pain, fear, isolation and stress. So, when you give to Starlight, you’re helping to improve the lives of seriously ill children and young people, now, and into the future.
