Starlight Children's Foundation

Kids Are Heroes
Kids Are Heroes® is a non-profit that empowers, encourages and inspires children to become leaders through volunteerism and community involvement. We do this by showcasing and supporting children younger than the age of eighteen who are changing the world through their selfless acts of giving. We truly believe that kids are indeed heroes and each one has the power to change the world. It is not about the recognition — even though we do recognize children for the generous acts they perform. The kids simply aren’t interested in the accolades. What they do want is for us to raise awareness about the causes they so deeply believe in, and they love to inspire other children to join in.
We teach children to follow their passions at an early age. This will instinctively stay with them throughout their entire lives.
Kids Are Heroes does not dictate to children what they should be doing. Instead, they help kids find their passion and support them. They learn so many things from giving back. They are called upon to speak in public, they learn about team building, resource management and most of all what it feels like to do something that serves another human being, which teaches them empathy. Children learn that there is more to life than their own selves, and their outward-focused involvement helps to shape them into compassionate leaders.
Music Saves Lives
Music Saves Lives® is the bridge between music, entertainment and important life-saving causes. We bring a simple concept; connect the music and entertainment, we all love, to a life saving community action. MSL has focused efforts on blood donation and the bone marrow registry, reaching out by sharing facts, educating and empowering. We educate about the importance of simple life saving actions they can participate in. These simple actions, like donating blood, running a blood drive, and registering for the marrow program to save those with leukemia, all connect back to the community.
