Dreamstar Parties Cares

Giving back to the children in our communities is one of our top priorities. We accomplish this by partnering with various wonderful charities/organizations in our communities that focus on the well being of young children. We are especially proud of our relationships with children's hospital. Five dollars from each character reservation is donated to children's hospital and shared equally between Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland and Seattle Children's Hospital. We also donate performances to children's hospital and the San Francisco 49ers Foundation throughout the year. Below are links to charities and organizations that we support and feel are deserving of special recognition for their important work in improving the lives and well being of children in our communities. We strongly urge our customers to also support these charities/organizations and to make donations. Donations can come in the form of not just cash, but time. Together we can all make the lives of the most special little people in our communities better. Be sure to visit our Dreamstar Parties Cares Page to see upcoming Dreamstar Parties appearances at events that benefit children in our communities and pictures from past events/performances.
