Hospital Happenings

Hospital Happenings bring fun where it's needed most!

It's generally not a lot of fun for anyone to be in a hospital, but it's especially tough on kids. Sometimes because of long or complicated treatments it just can't be helped. While doctors, nurses and visiting family members all try to make long hospital stays more bearable, they can't always provide that extra level of fun every child needs.

That's where Starlight Starbright comes to the rescue! Hospital Happenings are cheerful themed activities, therapeutic activities and our popular Starlight-in-a-box, to name a few.

Hospital staff recognize Hospital Happenings as highly effective morale boosters that create much-needed social interaction. For children, the ability to share a laugh with family, roommates and caregivers can be the best medicine possible.

Hospital Happenings are a gift that makes everyone smile, including the planners and participants. Volunteers and the generosity of individuals and corporations alike make it all happen. Frequently, businesses and organizations sponsor events, and their employees volunteer to participate.

Corporate Team Volunteering

If building a more committed, engaged creative and energetic workplace is high on your company’s agenda, then a day of corporate volunteering may be just the answer. Through our Hospital Happenings Program we have many opportunities for employee engagement and team building. If your organization is interested in this exciting opportunity please read on for more information.
