Every $35 Raised Impacts One Hospitalized Kid
Jump For Their Joy
About Starlight
Hospitalized kids are often scared, alone, and facing painful treatments. That's why Starlight exists, to bring happiness to hospitalized kids when they need it the most. Because happiness matters.
Meet Grace
11-year-old Grace lights up every room. She loves the distraction and entertainment of Starlight Toy Deliveries when she goes in for oncology appointments to treat the leukemia she was diagnosed with in 2021.
Meet Finn
Finn is an energetic, outgoing 8-year-old born with a congenital heart defect (CHD.) Starlight Gowns and Hero Wagons have made all the difference in his treatment, which has included over eighteen procedures.
Meet Emma
In 2021, Emma’s parents took her in for what they thought was a simple ankle injury. After some testing, she was diagnosed with leukemia and started treatment immediately. Through it all, Starlight Hero Wagons have been a bright spot.

Local Children's Hospitals
All funds raised through Star Jump Challenge will support Starlight programs.
Starlight Hero Wagon
When a child needs to move from their hospital bed to a treatment room, it’s a scary moment of change. The Starlight Hero Wagon transforms that moment with a fun ride and provides a source of comfort.
Starlight Hospital Gowns
The transition from a child’s clothes to a hospital gown is one of the most stressful moments in a child’s hospital journey. Starlight Hospital Gowns transform that moment with comfort, joy, and inspiration.
Starlight Virtual Reality
Basic procedures like changing a dressing for a burn are highly traumatic for a child, often requiring them to be sedated. Starlight VR allows kids to “escape” and be immersed in different worlds while undergoing these procedures.
Starlight Nintendo Gaming Station
Hospital stays can be long, boring, and stressful. The Starlight Nintendo Gaming Stations provide kids with a sense of normalcy, distraction, and a way to connect with their friends, and siblings.
