Help brighten the lives of seriously ill children and teens.
Make a difference
As a patron of the Berry Motorfair, your company has the opportunity to raise funds for Starlight Children’s Foundation. Starlight's vision is that everyone experiences a happy childhood, because happiness matters. Serious childhood illness doesn’t just impact a child’s health. It can turn their whole life upside down, causing them to miss out on spending time with their family, building friendships, going to school and just living their life.
Starlight works alongside clinicians, wherever they go, from by the bedside in a major paediatric hospital to mobile clinics visiting remote communities. Working in partnership to deliver the best possible care for children and young people across the whole country, so that they can live their best lives.
As a patron, your support helps brighten the lives of seriously ill children and young people. All patrons will be required to make their donation to Starlight Children’s Foundation directly. All donations are tax deductible.
Henry's story
Henry’s life became consumed by hospital when he was diagnosed with Stage 5 Nephroblastoma (Wilms Tumour kidney cancer) after experiencing a sore and bloated tummy. The shock diagnosis left the family devastated.
“We never imagined cancer,” his mum Jade said. “One moment everything was fine and then it wasn’t. We were overcome by fear.”
Thankfully Captain Starlight was on hand to provide Henry some company, and to deliver a healthy dose of much needed fun and laughter!
“Starlight brings happiness and sparkle to an otherwise scary experience. They provide fun and distraction which helps pave the way for better coping with treatment,” Jade said.
Throughout his treatment, the Captains learned all about Henry’s love of clocks, shared silly jokes, played games, and helped create crafty masterpieces, all to brighten Henry’s hospital experience.
