social distancing with a view
Back in August, Shining Stars held the 10th annual Winter Park Half Marathon and 5k in Grand County! Although we couldn't hold our usual full-size event like we have in years past, we still had a great turnout and participants were thrilled to take in that fresh Rocky Mountain air while getting their exercise for the day! Join us for race day next year on July 31st in Winter Park, CO! Click here to view more photos from race day!
Tee off for kids with cancer
At the end of September, over 100 supporters came out to enjoy some golf in the sunshine for the 16th Annual Tee Off for Kids with Cancer tournament. The day was filled with great golf, maybe more than a few mulligans and we finished up the afternoon with an outdoor lunch and awards ceremony! Thank you to all the participants, volunteers, sponsors and donors who helped make the day such a great success! See more photos from Tee Off here!

hOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
The Annual Holiday Toy Party will be on December 12th this year at the Lakewood Elks Lodge in Denver, CO! Shining Stars and their families are invited to join us for a drive by and toy giveaway to help ease some of the holiday stress families experience with a critically ill child. Shining Stars Foundation partners with businesses around CO to help collect gifts for the annual toy drive that begins on November 18 and goes until December 23rd. Shining Stars volunteers will pick up toys and bring them to the Lakewood Elks Lodge where we will bag gifts and toys for families participating in the toy giveaway on December 12th. We would like to thank our Title Sponsor, Caruso Family Charities, for their support in this special event for Shining Stars and their families. Although we have to change things up a little this year to be safe, this special day is going to make the holidays much less stressful for our families and give them a little sparkle of HOPE during these challenging times.
