Some time ago, my staff and I began looking for a charity with meaning and purpose – both medical and spiritual – that speaks to the needs of our community and our children. Through various channels, we came across the Starlight children’s foundation of Washington, and we said to ourselves, “this organization fits our criteria to a T.”
A debilitating illness is terribly hard on children and their families. The Starlight foundation offers a variety of support programs for sick children, to help them cope and (hopefully) live more normal lives. They work with major children’s hospitals, providing educational web sites and programs, family activities, and many other things that help the vital aspects of family life continue.
We’re happy that the Starlight Foundation gives us an opportunity to help these families as they do everything they possibly can to ease the burdens of sick children.
On September 17, 2009, my staff and I look forward to supporting the Starlight Foundation through a major fundraiser, Fashion First in Seattle. I encourage you all to come out, enjoy the wonderful fashions, and enjoy a wonderful evening supporting the Starlight Foundation. If you cannot attend, feel free to donate to the starlight foundation through their website www.starlight-washington.org.
