Stream For Starlight: Impacting Hospitalized Kids since 2019
Starlight Children’s Foundation’s history with gaming began in 1992 when the first-ever Starlight Gaming Station was created to deliver happiness to hospitalized kids. In 2019, to unite the gaming and streaming communities, Stream For Starlight (S4S) was born! Charity streamers and content creators from across the U.S. came together to live-stream and fundraise for Starlight, raising over $40,000 in the first campaign alone! Alongside gaming, broadcasts included cooking demos, crafting, live music, and more, all to raise funds and awareness for Starlight and our mission.
Since its inception, we’ve seen nothing but fun and success! Over 1,000 charity streamers have:
Raised over $1.8 million for Starlight
Placed more than 700 Starlight programs in hospitals and medical facilities across the nation
Delivered happiness to 1,113,840 hospitalized kids from coast to coast
