OUR STORY

The Shining Stars Foundation was founded by a group of dedicated and experienced volunteers who saw an unmet need in the Rocky Mountains for a program that would provide emotional support to children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses through adventure and recreational programs. Originally focused on providing an adaptive ski experience through the Aspen Winter Games Program, the Foundation has grown to provide five key programs and over 30 events each year.

At first serving only a handful of children from Colorado, the Foundation has now served over 1,500 children and 5,000 family members from 133 towns in 13 states. The Foundation continues to grow each year, expanding its geographic reach, offering more services, and helping more families in need.
