Host a Fundraiser
Help make a difference—and have fun doing it!
Hosting a fundraiser for Starlight Canada and helping seriously ill children in your community is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
Step 1: Choose Your Fundraiser!
From fun runs and golf tournaments to birthday parties and dance-a-thons, there are countless ways to support Starlight Canada while having a great time. You can either select one of the suggested event types or create your own!
Event Ideas:
Celebrations: Fundraise at your birthday party, bridal shower, wedding, or another special occasion. Simply request donations instead of gifts and give back to children in your community as you celebrate.
Tournaments: Host a sports tournament and give back at the same time! Donate a portion of team registrations, run a 50/50 raffle, hold a silent auction during the banquet, and more.
Garage Sales: Declutter your home while making a difference! Gather friends and neighbours to sell new and used treasures, with proceeds benefiting seriously ill children and their families.
Office Fun Days: Engage your coworkers with fun themed days! Have colleagues pledge a set amount to dress down on Fridays or wear seasonal outfits (e.g., green for St. Patrick’s Day or ugly sweaters for the holidays), with all funds donated to Starlight Canada.
Step 2: Set Your Goal!
Set a fundraising goal to inspire your friends and family to donate. Whether you aim for $100 or $100,000, Starlight Canada is here to support you every step of the way!

Fundraiser Spotlight Stories
Ryker’s Challenge For Change
10-year-old Ryker, who lives with renal failure and has undergone a kidney transplant, wanted to give back to kids just like him. With his parents, Magda and Matt, they created a fun social media fundraiser where each fundraising milestone unlocks a unique family challenge—from taking a pie to the face to getting a wild haircut. Their dedication to giving back raised over $1,600 to help support other Starlight families who understand their journey!
A Gala Of Giving
What started as Kathy’s simple desire to give back turned into a night her community won’t forget. With her love for bringing people together, she hosted a Viva Las Vegas-themed gathering in support of Starlight Canada—proving that a little kindness can go a long way. Thanks to Kathy and everyone who joined in, more than $82,000 was raised to help brighten the lives of seriously ill children. Talk about hitting the jackpot!
