“We’re delighted to partner with Sydney Airport this Starlight Day to raise much-needed funds to ensure our hospital programs deliver maximum impact to the children and the families we support,” Ms Baxter said.

“We are solely reliant on the generosity of donors, the community and corporate partners like Sydney Airport, and especially their generous customers, to help Starlight continue to brighten the hospitalisation experience for sick kids into the future.”

Starlight Day is Starlight Children’s Foundation Australia’s largest annual fundraising event. The charity aims to raise $1.5 million through Starlight Day this year to support 40,000 seriously ill children and teenagers.
