How Spotlight Helps to Celebrate Book Week
No child should miss out on the fun of Book Week! With the donations of incredible kid's costumes, children will love dressing up as their favourite superheroes, princesses or mythicpokkal creatures, helping them to celebrate Book Week from the hospital.
In 2024 Spotlight and Starlight together created a Spotlight Costume Shop for children to choose their costumes from a range of options! We also created a ‘Maker’ area where children could draw their own unique costume and bring it to life with materials supplied by Spotlight, encouraging innovation and artistry.
Providing Art and Craft Supplies for Activities Our Starlight Children Love
Drawing, colouring and painting are some of the most popular activities in the Starlight Express Room, helping sick kids express themselves and take a break from their appointments. Children enjoy bringing their creative ideas to life alongside Captain Starlight, our resident superhero who loves colouring and lending a helping hand throughout crafting sessions. There's always great excitement on kids' faces at the sight of a Spotlight box filled with craft!
Fundraising from Spotlight
In May 2024, Spotlight held a Donation Drive Campaign where customers had the opportunity to donate directly at the registers in Spotlight stores across Australia. Thanks to our generous customers, Spotlight raised over $177,000 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation and helped to grant 23 life-changing wishes to children in need.
Spotlight participated in Starlight’s Toy Drive where Christmas gifts were donated to children in hospitals across Australia, helping to transform the hospital experience for thousands of kids during the holiday season.
Spotlight also generously donates an enormous range of art, craft and party supplies to Starlight Express Rooms in children's hospitals across the country helping ill children to enjoy much-needed fun and creativity.
Starlight Children's Foundation is a children's charity that works to bring joy and laughter to seriously ill children and young people through programs like "Captain Starlight" and "Livewire," focusing on play, creativity, and social connection to enhance their well-being. Starlight granted 507 wishes in 2024, together we aim to continue to make wishes come true for children across Australia.
