Each year there are over 600,000 child admissions to hospitals in Australia. Sadly, Starlight reaches only 1 in 3 of them. Our ultimate goal is to reach each and every child. Money raised this STARLIGHT DAY Friday May 2, and all throughout May, will help us reach more seriously ill children when they need it most.

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

Volunteer: Sell merchandise on Starlight Day, at a local shopping centre or train station - just a few hours can make an enormous difference.

Star Party: Host a Star Party and get friends, family or your local club members to raise funds. Some great fundraising party ideas are: a bbq, raffle, guessing competition, morning tea or trivia night.

If you can help out with fundraising for the Starlight Children's Foundation visit www.starlight.org.au or call 1300 727 827.

Foster carers are ordinary people doing an extraordinary job.

Foster carers are men and women of all ages from all walks of life - single or a couple, with or without children, working or at home. Foster carers welcome children into their homes for varied periods of time. Depending on circumstances, this can range from a few days to several months.

Our experience tells us that good foster families are understanding, flexible and have a sense of humour. If this sounds like your family, and you think that you could care for children who can't live with their own families, please contact ANGLICARE on 9890 6800 or email telopea1@anglicare.org.au
