The Catholic Community of the Blessed Sacrament - Scottsdale and Starlight Children’s Foundation have contributed a Fun Center™, featuring a Nintendo Wii™, DVD player, and a Sharp AQUOS™LCD TV, to Barrow Neurological Institute for pediatric patients.
Fun Centers roll right up to the side of young patients’ beds or anywhere in the hospital, making them perfect for children during hospital stays or while awaiting surgery, outpatient clinic treatments, or emergency room care. Fun Centers uniquely counter the isolation and fear often experienced by sick children.
Starlight Children’s Foundation™ was founded in 1983 to help seriously ill children and their families cope with pain, fear, and isolation through entertainment, education, and family activities. Starlight’s programs have been proven to distract children from their pain, to help them better understand and manage their illnesses, and to connect families facing similar challenges so that no one feels alone. Each year, Starlight Children’s Foundation Arizona touches the lives of more than 50,000 children and their families statewide.
