Stream for Starlight
Turn every stream into real impact for seriously ill kids — When You Play, Kids Win.
We developed our first Starlight Gaming Station, powered by Nintendo, in 1992. Fast forward 27 years later to 2019 and Stream For Starlight (S4S) launched, uniting gaming and streaming communities to help advance our mission. Today, S4S remains a vibrant and diverse community where creators stream happiness 365 days a year.
Celebrating Milestones and Impact
Since its inception, S4S has been an overwhelming success, with over 2,000 charity streamers raising an incredible $3 million for Starlight! The impact of the S4S community continues to grow each year. In 2025 alone, more than 340 streamers went live to raise $475,220, enabling the delivery of Gaming Stations across the country, delivering moments of happiness to countless kids and families.
