Encompass Group selected Starlight as its national charity partner last year and then enlisted Starlight's children to help design its next line of pediatric patient apparel, professional staff apparel, bedding and patient care products.
Starlight's seriously ill children and their siblings -- all too familiar with hospital stays -- submitted more than 325 designs from across the US and Canada based on the theme of what should be on a pediatric gown to cheer up patients during a scary and lonely hospital stay.
Encompass employees then selected four winning designs.
The winning artists unveiled their designs and were honored during two separate Starlight Hospital Happening events that took place at hospitals where they or a sibling regularly receive treatment for a serious illness.
Here, Starlight teen and gown designer Noah Yosif shares more behind the partnership between Starlight and Encompass and the story behind our Starlight Pediatric Gown design contest...
