Direct Giving
The link below takes you to our campaign page on their website donate.starlight.org. This page is powered by GoFundMe, and the funds go directly to the organization. Using the link allows us to use the totals for our promotions, including matching campaigns.
One of the most stressful experiences in a child’s hospital journey is transitioning from their personal clothes into a hospital gown.
Starlight Hospital Gowns replace traditional hospital gowns to promote a more positive experience. Specially designed with ties down the side, they provide better privacy and coverage for kids. Snaps on the sleeves allow easier access for hospital staff during medical procedures and their brightly colored and themed gowns lead to fun, interactive experiences which aid emotional wellbeing.
Donation FAQ
A few quick answers before you suit up and support the team.
Where do donations go?
Our links lead to a GoFundMe campaign hosted by our partners. Be confident knowing that the money you donate is going directly to them and not passing through the Ghostbusters hands. Any other method of donation is the same: we are completely self-funded and do not keep any proceeds.
Are donations required to attend events?
No. Donations are always appreciated, but community engagement and fan fun are for everyone.
Can businesses or event organizers help?
Absolutely. If you would like to support an appearance or collaborate on an event, please contact the team.
Can I donate if I just love what you do?
Absolutely! We have plenty of opportunities beyond our listed charity partners, and would love to discuss what you’re thinking. To paraphrase Egon: “No job is too big, no [contribution] is too big.”
Do you participate in charitable activities?
Yes. The Colorado Ghostbusters supports community-minded events and charitable efforts. If you’d like to see us at an event you’re hosting, we’d love to hear from you.
