Starlight responds to the need that exists in hospitals for creative and fun outlets for seriously ill children through our Pediatric Hospital Support Program.  This unique hospital program supports Music and Dance Therapy, Karate Classes for kids fighting cancer, adapted Yoga sessions for profoundly disabled children, Sensory Therapy, a wheelchair accessible van, Recreational Rooms, Horticulture Therapy, a Video Artist in Residence project, and many other creative projects that enhance the lives of hospitalized children.

On Wednesday, March 25th, Queens Borough President Helen Marshall joined members of the Starlight Children’s Foundation at St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children, to announce funding from Starlight in support of St. Mary’s Music Therapy Program, part of the Healthcare System’s comprehensive rehabilitation program for children recovering from serious injury or illness.
