WHERE: # # # About Great Escapes Starlight created the Great Escapes family activities program to provide families with the chance to spend quality time together — away from the hospital — so that they can relax and regroup, and return home with a new-found sense of strength and hope. In addition, everyone in the family is able to meet others who are facing similar challenges, reducing their feelings of isolation. This community-building bolsters spirits, provides outlets for buried emotions, and provides a vital support system during the most difficult times in a family's life. Outings include ball games, picnics, cruises, spa days and movie premiers. Starlight, corporate sponsors and individual donors underwrite all costs. For more information, visit www.starlight.org/ End
