About Us

Welcome to the Ottawa Regional office of the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation!

Over the past ten years, volunteers have worked incredibly hard in Ottawa and surrounding areas supporting the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. As a direct result of these efforts you have helped us build awareness of the Foundation in the region, granting over 187 wishes, hosting 30 Great Escape events, placing 7 Fun Centres and building 2 Starlight Sites in the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Working in partnership with local hospitals and pediatric facilities we have seen the need for Starlight programs in the region escalate dramatically. Striving to meet the increased demand for services Starlight has hired a Regional Coordinator, Britta Gerwin, to better serve the needs of this region. It is our belief that a local staff person representing the Foundation can help us to reach even larger milestones, therefore bringing more smiles and laughter to some very special children.
