Community Involvement
While Starlight is focused on philanthropic work for Children's Hospitals, we participate in many service activities throughout the community!
STORY HOURS
Story hours is an opportunity for our members to travel to various hospitals - such as Texas Children's, Shriners, MD Anderson, and McLane - and read stories, perform skits, play games, or do crafts with the children.
CAMP FOR ALL
Our members volunteer at this unique, barrier-free camp, working to enrich the lives of children and adults of all ages with challenging illnesses, diseases, or disabilities.
CRAFTS FOR THE HOSPITALS
Throughout the semester, Starlight members meet to make crafts such as blankets, gift baskets, and games to donate to the hospitals. This includes Jared Boxes, which are care packages filled with toys other gifts for the kids!
BALLARD HOUSE
The Ballard House is a living community that provides temporary housing for individuals and their families who are hospitalized or receiving treatment for a serious medical condition.
TEXAS CHARGERS RETREAT
The annual Texas Chargers Retreat supports families touched by CHARGE syndrome, allowing them to connect with one another. Our members spend the day participating and volunteering at the retreat.
