During August and September 2012, the Starlight Children's Foundation will be asking Australians to harness their love of good food and great company to help transform the lives of seriously ill children, young people and their families.

Sadly every minute of every day a child is admitted to hospital, some of these children will go on to receive a diagnosis that will change their lives and the lives of their family forever. This will mean endless trips to hospital, in many cases for incredible long periods of time. For these children hospital means missing out on all the normal days of childhood.

Whether you are a home chef or a gourmet cook you can help! Be a Star Chef! Help transform the lives of seriously ill children by inviting your friends for a dinner party or having a bake-off at work.

The funds raised from Serving up Smiles will go towards transforming the hospital experience for seriously ill children, by supporting programs like Captain Starlight, Starlight Express Rooms, and our adolescent program, Livewire.
