Starlight Ambassadors
It’s the little moments like surprise toy deliveries or the big moments like riding through the halls in a Starlight Radio Flyer Hero Wagon that aid the well-being and happiness of hospitalized kids. No one knows that better than our Starlight Ambassadors who have felt the joy Starlight programs give.
Representing the 2.4 million children impacted by Starlight programs, meet our 2023 Ambassadors.
