About Us
Shining Stars Foundation was founded on the idea of helping those in need. Since our organization was established, we have endeavored to provide help where the need is greatest. Our team is made up almost entirely of volunteers. The Foundation's headquarters are in Colorado and primarily serves children across the state of Colorado, but also has many children attend our events from the surrounding states.
