VOLUNTEERS OF THE QUARTER
Zurich International
The Zurich International volunteer team has been a tremendous help to us in every way possible. Members of the team, coordinated by Robin Marshall, have helped run our silent auctions at both the Starlight International Ladies Golf Tournament and this year's Stellar Night gala. The team also helped ensure that our holiday party for Starlight families went off without a hitch as they not only volunteered at the event, but they also helped gift wrap the over 300 presents that Santa presented to the children. Additionally, many members of the team are present at our monthly Hospital Happenings. We couldn't do what we do without the help of great volunteers like those from Zurich and we truly appreciate all of their help!

FEATURED SPONSOR/PARTNER
Hilton Atlanta
As part of the Hilton HHonors program, Hilton Atlanta is partnering with Starlight Atlanta to host a Storybook Tea Party. On August 6th, many of our Great Escape families will participate in multiple interactice activities, all based around classic storybook characters. The children and family members will get to eat lunch and sip tea with their favorite characters, such as Humpty Dumpty, Goldilocks and Alice in Wonderland. Additional entertainment will include face painters and balloon artists.
The Hilton HHonors Program allows participants and Atlanta businesses to redeem Hilton HHonors points for cash and make donations to non-profit organizations. To encourage businesses and honors members to utilize their charitable HHonors points, Hilton will match every point donated to a charity for the remainder of the 2007 calendar year.
