Funtastic’s financial support and product donations are directed towards the Starlight Express Rooms, just one of the many ways that Starlight brightens the lives of seriosuly ill children. 

The Rooms provides an escape from their normal hospital routine for ill children, their  family and friends. It gives children a medical free haven filled with entertainment, games, some much-needed time-out and Captain Starlight who is the catalyst for fun and laughter. The children can choose to play computers, do arts and crafts or take turns at helping DJ for the in-house Starlight FM radio station. 

“Together Starlight and Funtastic are involved in the serious business of kids having fun – and there is no more important time for a child to be given the chance to simply play than when they are sick,” Tony Oates, Funtastic Managing Director said. 

“Our business has historically been centered in the toy industry but we’re now also the country’s largest children’s product distributor.  So when we looked for a partner able to help us contribute to our community, it made sense to look for one that worked with the people we work for everyday – Australian kids and their families.”

“Starlight’s commitment to brightening the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children resonated with us, making them our perfect partner.

“Together we hope to put evern more smiles on even more kids’ faces.”
