The Taste of the Stars
Starlight Event Nets Over $140,000

The Taste of the Stars drew a beautifully dressed crowd in support of the Starlight Children’s Foundation’s Fourth Annual Auction and Gala on November 21 at the Four Seasons Hotel. This year’s theme was favorite children’s stories, and each table represented a different childhood tale.

The Starlight Foundation netted over $140,000, $35,000 of which was used to purchase ten multi-media “fun” centers for regional hospitals. The centers boast a Sharp AQUOS liquid crystal television, a DVD player and a Nintendo GameCube system, and are designed to roll over a child’s bed whenever they are in the hospital for treatment.

Starlight MidAtlantic has granted approximately 2,000 wishes annually for ill children nationwide, including trips to Disneyland, celebrity meetings and other fantasy experiences.
