Supporting Starship
 
We have so many needs and there are so many
ways you can help us make the impossible
possible for children's health.

Celebration Giving
 
Sonya and John had guests donate to Starship in lieu of wedding giftsIf you are celebrating an occasion and would you like to share your special occasion with others, why not do something amazing for Starship and ask for donations instead of presents?
 
Sonya and John Bell did just that when they realised they already had the material things they needed, “…we wanted to use our wedding day to bless others”.
 
So rather than receiving presents for your special occasion, you can ask friends and family to make a donation to the Starship.  They can donate online by phone or by cheque.
 
Here are some great occasions to celebrate:
  • Weddings and civil partnerships (congratulations if you’ve set the date!)
  • Birthdays
  • Anniversaries
  • Christenings
It is now possible to set up an online web page for friends and family to donate by credit card instead of giving presents. They can even do this from overseas and post a message on your page. To set up your special celebration page, please click on the link below and follow the simple instructions (choose ‘event not listed’ option at the bottom of the page). You can even customise it with a photograph and message:

How does it work?
 
If your family and friends choose to send donations directly to Starship Foundation, we will keep a running total for you and write to you approximately one month after your occasion to let you know how much you have raised.
