Starlight

Welcome to Christmas at Mt Ommaney Centre in 2008. For the third year running, Mt Ommaney Centre is proud to be the official supporter of the Starlight Children’s Foundation of Australia (SCFA) in an effort to put smiles on the faces of seriously ill children and their families this Christmas.

Over the past two years, more than $500,000 has been raised for Starlight through local AMP Capital Shopping Centres. This year, Mt Ommaney Centre and 13 other participating AMP Capital Shopping Centres across Australia will again work together on a number of unique initiatives to raise money to help grant the wishes of 182 seriously ill children.

Throughout November and December, we’ll be seeking the support of our valued customers to help us achieve our fundraising goal of $300,000 and spread some much needed Christmas joy with those that need it most.

As part of this year’s campaign, we’ve also chosen to feature the story of one Starlight child and their special wish.

About Starlight

Starlight brightens the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children and their families all over Australia. They do this by delivering innovative programs that provide a positive distraction from their illness and restore the fun, laughter and joy that serious illness takes away. 

The Starlight Wish granting program provides an opportunity for a child to have their own individual dream come true, giving them something truly unique to look forward to, and an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

There are over 600,000 child admissions to Australian hospitals every year and sadly today, Starlight can only reach “1 in 3” of them. Their aim is to raise sufficient funds to enable every child access to their innovative programs wherever they live. Fundraising campaigns such as the Mt Ommaney Centre Light up Christmas for Starlight campaign are vital in helping Starlight fulfill its goal.

This year, AMP Capital Shopping Centres’ focus was on bringing a fresh and energetic approach to raising money for Starlight with numerous initiatives. Here’s how you can jump on board.
