Starlight Children's Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the well-being of seriously ill and hospitalized children. Established in the United States in 1982, the organization works with hospitals and healthcare providers to bring comfort, happiness, and positive experiences to children facing medical challenges. Its programs are designed to reduce stress, ease fear, and help young patients feel more connected and supported during treatment.

The foundation delivers a range of hospital-based programs and resources, including play activities, entertainment, hospital gowns, toys, and technology that help children experience moments of joy during difficult periods. It also works with healthcare facilities and community partners to reach children and their families across the country. Through these initiatives, Starlight promotes emotional well-being, resilience, and a more positive healthcare experience for pediatric patients.
