This September, the Starlight Children's Foundation will host Starlight Movie Month across Australia, as a fun, family-friendly way to help transform the lives of seriously ill children and their families.

Getting involved is easy. Anyone can join the fun by:
registering to host a Starlight Movie Night or movie-themed party at home or at your local cinema with friends, family and colleagues and ask them to donate what they usually spend on a night at the movies
purchasing Starlight's exclusive 'Shine On Kids' DVD, a special collection of kids programs available at participating retailers for $14.95

Starlight Chief Executive Louise Baxter, said:"Starlight Movie Month offers something for everyone. We urge all movie-lovers to join the fun!
"Movies and entertainment are used every day in Starlight's innovative programs, to provide much-needed distraction from the pain and boredom of hospital life."
This year Starlight Movie Month also celebrates Starlight's 25th year supporting Australia's sick kids.
Individuals, corporations, schools and community groups are encouraged to get involved.
