Meet our Starlight Ambassadors
Our ambassadors raise awareness of our work and encourage more people to support seriously ill children with us. They play a vital role in our mission to preserve childhood and limit the long-term effects of serious illness and treatment. Starlight ambassadors, we can’t thank you enough.
