Join Dave Koz in Delivering Happiness to Hospitalized Kids

This holiday season, join longtime Starlight advocate Dave Koz in bringing much-needed joy to hospitalized kids and their families.

Donate today to double your impact bringing even more joy to children during this important time of year. Every dollar you give will be MATCHED, thanks to longtime friends of Dave and Starlight, Debbie and Glen Bickerstaff.

Don't forget to leave a personal message with your donation – we'll share with Dave!

Starlight Children's Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and your donation is tax deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. Please keep your receipt as your official record. We'll email it to you upon successful completion of your donation.

Fans and friends of Dave Koz have raised over $200,000 this year, funding thousands of toys for 20 hospitals across 12 states as part of Dave’s Christmas Tour – but there are many more hospitals that need our help.

With increased rates of RSV, the flu, and other seasonal illnesses, thousands of families will be faced with unexpected visits to the hospital this holiday season. Your gift today will help provide a strong foundation for Starlight’s distribution of programs in the coming weeks, ensuring that we can get toys, video games, cozy hospital gowns, and more out the door and into the hospital rooms of these brave kids.

The Healing Power of Starlight Programs

Starlight programs are carefully crafted to address the needs of hospitalized kids; bringing comfort, distraction, and a sense of normalcy when they may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed. Our programs support hospitalized children in unique ways:

Toy Deliveries provide a sense of relief through what children love the most - play!

Hero Wagons allow kids to venture beyond the four walls of their hospital room.

Gaming redirects a child's focus while providing familiarity in an unfamiliar environment.
