Starlight Canada

Geoffrey and Starry are racing through the aisles on a mission to spread holiday cheer! 🎁💫 This season, every donation made at checkout during @toysruscanada's 27th Annual Star Campaign supports Starlight Canada's programs that bring comfort, laughter, and hope to families.

Our Aurora team is back for another spooktacular Halloween! This year, we joined the Starlight Foundation’s Trick or Suite event once again to bring magic and smiles to local kids. Our theme for 2025? Bad to the Bones #E360S #StarlightFoundation @StarlightCanada #TrickorSuite

@toysruscanada turned their Sherway store into 7-year-old Abby’s playground – racing through the aisles with her family during her very own 3-Minute Dash, grabbing every toy she could dream of in three minutes. 🛒✨

This Thanksgiving and every day, we are thankful for you — our supporters, donors, and volunteers — for making moments of light possible for seriously or chronically ill children like 8-year-old Grayson. From all of us at Starlight Canada, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! 💛✨

A heartfelt thanks to @rmountaineer for warmly welcoming our adventurers. As well, thank you to the @AirCanada Foundation and @aeroplan for providing flights that helped make this dream trip a reality. Together, the magic you created on this journey will be cherished forever. ✨

13 Starlight families, 2 days, 1 @rmountaineer train… countless smiles! 🏔️💫 On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re reminded of the power of joy and connection — and how magical experiences like these make the world of difference for families with seriously ill children.

Starlight families are embracing every moment on board the @rmountaineer. 🛤️✨ Thank you, #RockyMountaineer, for creating hope that will last far beyond the tracks. And to the @AirCanada Foundation and @Aeroplan for bringing these families together with round-trip flights. 🌟

A warm thank you to @rmountaineer for giving children like Eva an adventure to remember, and to the @AirCanada Foundation and @Aeroplan for providing the round-trip flights that helped families like hers reach new heights. 💫

Battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) for the second time in her young life, 8-year-old Eva has spent more time in hospital rooms than in classrooms. But on this once-in-a-lifetime trip with @rmountaineer, Eva and her family are experiencing moments they’ve long dreamed of.

This life-changing journey has been made possible with round-trip flights from the @AirCanada Foundation and @Aeroplan. And with the caring support from our friends at Sofina Foundation and Sofina Foods Canada, adventure, hope, and childhood magic await! 🌟

ALL ABOARD THE @rmountaineer! 🚂💫 13 families with seriously ill children are off on an adventure to remember, ready to discover not only the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, but the beauty of childhood itself. #RockyMountaineer

The first day of school is a milestone most families take for granted—a backpack at the door, shoes tied, a quick photo before heading out. For Nolan’s parents, it was one they feared they’d never see. Read Nolan’s back-to-school journey here: bit.ly/3HHwTk1. 💫

Lights out, and away we go! 🏎️🚥 More than 130 seriously ill children and family members gathered for a special Show & Shine, as the Vancouver car community transformed the Landmark Theatre parking lot into a striking grid of 19 luxury cars. ✨

At the 5th Annual Starlight Open, over $300,000 was raised to brighten the lives of families with seriously ill children—driven by the generosity of community champions, corporate partners, and philanthropic leaders who came together for a day of purpose. ⛳💫

“I hope this helps kids just be kids for a little while when they’re in the hospital,” shared Frank Dalphond of @SekureExperts. Inspired by his two healthy daughters, Frank donated a Starlight Handheld in their honour. 💫Read his story: bit.ly/46sMEVX
