Starlight Day Brightener Wishes™

Starlight Day Brightener Wishes™ do exactly what you think they would – they brighten a sick kid’s day (or evening)! Sometimes all a child wishes for in a given moment is a break from the hospitals, treatments and therapies. Whether it’s cheering at a sports game, jamming along at a concert, learning at a museum or much more, a Day Brightener Wish helps Starlight families unwind for a few hours and have some fun! Easy to fit around hospital schedules, these exciting outings are the perfect pick-me-ups.

Shared equally and fairly between all Starlight families, Starlight Canada distributes tickets on a regular basis, or as we receive them. Children who are part of our Starlight Great Escapes® Wishes program are automatically invited to participate in the Starlight Day Brightener Wishes program.

Did you know that you can donate tickets for upcoming sporting events, concerts, or other unique activities to Starlight Canada? Turn tickets into smiles today by contacting starlightfun@starlightcanada.org and get a tax receipt in return!

“I haven’t seen my son smile and be a “normal” 6-year-old in such a long time. This is the first time in his journey where he and I just got to be together. You made his dream come true and I got to spend some time with my best friend!” – Jenny, Starlight mom of 7-year-old Blake, who lives with brain damage, epilepsy, and more
