Shining Stars Foundation

The mission of the Shining Stars Foundation is to provide year-round sport, recreational, and outreach programs to children and young adults with cancer and life threatening diseases at no cost to the child or their family. In order to accomplish our mission, the Shining Stars Foundation has established the following goals: -To introduce children and young adults with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses to recreation and sports programs, through which they can gain self-confidence, physical endurance, independence and self-determination. Most importantly we try to install the “will to live” for these challenged youngsters who so often see no hope for their future. -To create and foster an ongoing support network through diversified outreach programs for these children and their families so that they learn from their shared experiences and lean on each other in times of need.
