Working together for 3 years

"We love the work Starlight Starbright does to help children who are going through very difficult times, we are so pleased to partner with them to bring some joy to these children when they need it most."

-Robert Pasin, President & CEO, Radio Flyer

Radio Flyer, Inc. has brightened hospital hallways with over 2,500 cherry red wagons.  They began their partnership with Starlight Starbright in 2002. Hospital personnel across the country use the classic wagons in place of wheelchairs or stretchers to transport younger patients to and from surgeries, hospital rooms, and playrooms. 

"It is heartwarming to see our littlest kids transported in a fun, safe and comfortable wagon to their treatment rooms or simply on a ride to provide entertainment or distraction from their illness," said Ann Wellman, director of development at Memorial Hermann Woodlands Hospital in Woodlands, Texas. 

"Our patients love being strolled around the hospital in a wagon," added Collette Rossi-Luebke, child life specialist at Rockford Memorial Hospital in Rockford, IL.  "Their parents have been especially pleased by the ease and maneuverability it offers.  We have found the children to be less stressed and more relaxed when brought to the operating room in a wagon instead of a cart."
