The Starlight Children’s Foundation aims to bring smiles and joy to seriously ill children. Through entertainment, education and family activities, Starlight touches the lives of more than 220,000 young people and their families every month. Teaming up with William Shatner, best known for his role as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, Nouveau Riche Co-founder and CEO Jim Piccolo and The Frank Edward Piccolo Foundation have aided Starlight in expanding the Fun Centers© program into Arizona hospitals. Fun Centers© are bedside mobile entertainment units equipped with a Nintendo Wii™, DVD player, flat-screen TV and PC Pal—laptop computers created specifically for hospitalized children complete with age-appropriate games, filtered Internet access, interactive educational programs and other tools.

Starlight also plans Great Escapes©, recreational opportunities for families of seriously ill children in Arizona. With the support of The Frank Edward Piccolo Foundation and others, Starlight will continue to brighten the lives of many more children. For more information about Starlight, visit www.starlight.org.
