Starlight Children’s Foundation is pleased to become a part of the ECHOage party solution that provides a unique opportunity for kids to learn about ‘giving back’ at a young age. More importantly, it allows parents and children to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of seriously ill children, all while celebrating a child’s birthday.

Here’s how an ECHOage birthday party works: Guests are invited to an ECHOage birthday party online. Instead of bringing a wrapped present, guests simply RSVP and give a secure online contribution. IT'S THAT EASY!

ECHOage pools all of the contributions, and the birthday boy or girl uses a portion to purchase one special birthday present from all of his/her friends and makes a donation to Starlight with the balance. ECHOage will arrange everything. Guests won’t need to drive, shop, wrap or even pick-up the phone to make a donation!
Starlight and ECHOage will issue a tax receipt to the party host. Supporting Starlight and learning about philanthropy couldn’t be easier!

Visit www.echoage.com
 to make a difference at your next birthday celebration! Be sure to select 'STARLIGHT CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION' as your charitable cause!

Starlight and CCFA Unveil Enhanced Web Resource (http://www.ucandcrohns.org) for Young Adults with IBD

For young adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, coping with their illness is a life-long struggle. Today Starlight and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation announced the unveiling of their redesigned website, http://www.ucandcrohns.org, originally designed in 2006 to help young IBD patients cope with their condition. New features have been created to help young adults living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) manage their life-long digestive disease; connect with others facing similar challenges; and communicate with health care providers, family, teachers and peers. The new rich and interactive site features include:

·         My Story – A place for teens to submit videos and stories about the ups-and-downs of life with IBD, and to see what others have sent in about their experiences.
·         Tips and Tidbits - Provides a wealth of IBD survival skills, including how to handle long school absences, telling friends about the condition, what makes a medical procedure more bearable, stress management tools, and more practical wisdom from other teens who have been there.
·         Ask an Expert - Features Q&A about everything from medications and procedures to foods, fitness, and lifestyle, plus a tool that allows teens to submit new questions.

These new features are complemented by a fresh, energetic graphic design and easy-to-navigate site layout. Check it out everyone! http://www.ucandcrohns.org
