Pixar Animation Studios are bringing their own brand of magic to the magic of Starlight Children’s Foundation, delivering specialized hospital gowns to the littlest Pixar fans across the United States.
What’s Happening:
- Disney and Pixar have teamed up with Starlight Children’s Foundation to bring the joy of Pixar films to kids in hospitals around the country.
- Since 1982, Starlight has been delivering happiness to seriously ill children and their families at more than 800 children’s hospitals and health care facilities in the U.S., with fun, state-of-the-art programs like Starlight Virtual Reality, Starlight Hospital Wear, and Starlight Gaming. Starlight has brought smiles to more than 16 million seriously ill children and their families in the U.S. – at no cost to the kids or our hospital partners.
- In 2022, Disney, Pixar, and Starlight collaborated to create Starlight Hospital Wear inspired by a collection of favorite Pixar characters, including Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, The Incredibles, and Russell from Up. These gowns and pants provide patients with their choice of fun and comfy clothing to wear during their hospital stay.
- With donations ranging from $35 – $350, Starlight can provide these special gowns to the children, so kids across the U.S. can dress up as their favorite characters, like Toy Story's Jessie and Buzz Lightyear.
