Starlight Honors Mercy Children's in St. Louis as Hospital Partner of the Year
For the past 40 years, Starlight has been delivering happiness to seriously ill kids and their families. This would not be possible without the continued support of our hospital partners, individual supporters, and Starlight Families.
Starlight partners with over 800+ children’s hospitals and pediatric units across the US, which are all beyond dedicated to their patients and helping them through their hospital journey. This year, we are honored to award Mercy Children’s Hospital in St. Louis with Hospital Partner of the Year.
Through our more than 15 years of partnership with Mercy Children’s Hospital, Starlight programs, like Hero Wagons and Gaming, have been able to deliver moments of comfort and joy to their patients.

Their staff knows firsthand how the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference – like a delivery of Starlight Nintendo Switch Handhelds by the St. Louis Cardinals team mascot, Fredbird.

Starlight is grateful to be partnered with such an amazing facility that is not only committed to their patients and their families but committed to Starlight and helping us improve our programs to best serve seriously ill kids across the US.
Join us in celebrating our 40th anniversary by donating today to provide facilities, like Mercy Children’s Hospital, with more Starlight programs for the next 40 years.
