Back to School

Every child deserves to feel excited and prepared for the school year but for seriously ill kids and their families, back-to-school season can bring added stress and financial strain.

Thanks to our partners, we’ve already packed 200 backpacks full of school supplies—now, we need your help to get them into the hands of Starlight Families.

For just $30, you can deliver a backpack to a child facing illness, giving them the tools and confidence to learn and grow.

We'll email it to you upon successful completion of your donation. Your donation is safe through Level 1 PCI compliance and SSL Security. Your credit card or debit card information is never stored.
