Community is the heart of Starry Night, bringing together families, friends, teams, and local businesses in a shared mission of hope and support. Whether it’s a baseball team hosting a Starry Night game, a company sponsoring an event, or a family raising funds in honor of a loved one, every act of participation fuels the fight against childhood brain tumors. Each event culminates in a powerful lantern ceremony honoring the thousands of children and their families who are affected by childhood brain tumors.

Each lantern lit, dollar raised, and moment shared strengthens the bonds between those affected by pediatric brain tumors and the people rallying around them. Together we illuminate the path toward a cure and offer hope to countless children and their families.

"This fight isn't something many know much about. It's very hard. When impacted families rally at Starry Night we get to be with others who truly "get it". United, we shoulder the burden and raise vital awareness by boldly telling our stories. When we do that, our community deepens by seeing the humanity of this need and is offered a chance to choose nobly to fight. Collectively we move powerfully to benefit the future for the most precious resource, our children!" Sam Willis, National Chair, Starry Night at the Ballpark
