SLSB_final12_4.indd 6 12/6/07 11:16:52 AM Starlight StarbrightÕs unique variety of high-tech and high-touch programs allows us to offer programs and services to an ever-increasing number of seriously ill children and their families throughout the United States and Canada, and more and more, around the world as well. We continue to work to achieve our vision of serving every family, everywhere, with programs that help children and families cope with the pain, fear and isolation of prolonged illness, such as:

¥Family activities and outings, offered regularly to give families a chance to have fun together away from the hospital so they can relax, regroup and return home with a renewed sense of strength and hope. The events also forge connections between families struggling with similar issues to combat feelings of isolation. 4 ¥Playrooms and special events designed to ease the loneliness, fear and boredom that accompany long hospital stays. Starlight Starbright has built 104 childrenÕs playrooms and teen lounges in hospitals nationwide that provide children with an inviting place to play, relax and connect. Additionally, we bring fun-filled special events involving musicians, clowns and other entertainers to pediatric hospital patients Ñ even those who are bedridden Ñ to provide a morale boost and important social interaction.

¥Technology and entertainment-based programs like online social networks, mobile entertainment centers, animatronic characters and specially designed laptops that help kids fill hours in hospitals or treatment centers with fun; find distraction during long or painful medical procedures; and stay connected with the outside world or keep up with school work during hospitalizations or extended stays at home.

¥Educational programming delivered via interactive games, ezines, webisodes, comic books and websites that help sick children understand common hospital procedures and manage illnesses and injuries such as cancer, sickle cell, cystic fibrosis, asthma, CrohnÕs and colitis, severe burns and kidney disease. These programs combat feelings of fear and uncertainty that often accompany illness with fact-based knowledge presented in an engaging and age- appropriate format.

The pages that follow highlight programs that reached significant milestones in 2006-2007, serving more families in need. You will hear from children, mothers and fathers who offer very personal accounts of their struggles to cope with serious illness and the impact Starlight Starbright has had on each familyÕs experience.
