We are happy to announce that we have partnered with the Starlight Children's Foundation. A minimum of $4 will be contributed to the Starlight Children's Foundation for every copy of Tattoo Stories sold on or before December 31, 2011, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $10,000.
Starlight Children's Foundation is dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities.
Starlight understands what families go through when a child is sick, and how important it is to find relief from constant worry and isolation. Their programs have been proven to distract children from their pain, help them better understand and mannage their illness and connect with families facing similar challanges so that no one feels alone. Serving more then 180,000 children each month, Starlight uniquely offers a comprehensive menu of both "high tech" and "high touch" programs. Their array of outpatient, hospital-based and Web offerings enables them to provide ongoing support for children and families - before, during and after medical treatment. Research conducted on select Starlight programs indicates patient benefits including reduced pain, greater compliance with treatment and an increased sense of peer support, knowledge, responsibility for disease management and ability to cope. The way Starlight sees it, while doctors work to restore a child's health, they work to restore his or her spirit.
