Corbin Bleu Asks Fans to Join Him in Brightening the Lives of Seriously Ill
Children

LOS ANGELES, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Starlight Children's Foundation is
pleased to announce that Corbin Bleu, the organization's national
spokesperson, has started a fundraising campaign to encourage his fans to get
involved with Starlight and support its mission to help seriously ill children
and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation. He plans to rally
his fans to raise enough money to provide Starlight programs to five families
for one year, and to place a "Fun Center"(TM) (www.starlight.org/funcenter)
and a "PC Pal"(TM) (www.starlight.org/pcpal) at a hospital on Starlight's
waiting list.

Starlight's Fun Center is a mobile entertainment unit featuring a Nintendo
Wii(TM), a Sharp AQUOS(TM) LCD TV and a DVD player. The Fun Center can roll
right up to the side of a young patient's bed or anywhere in a hospital
setting to help distract children from their pain and keep them company after
visiting hours have ended. Starlight's PC Pal is a secure, durable laptop
computer that combats loneliness and boredom by allowing kids to connect with
loved ones, entertain themselves and keep up with school work.

"I have spent many an afternoon with Starlight families and have seen what the
children and parents are going through," said Corbin. "I am blessed with good
health, and so I do whatever I can to help these kids who aren't so lucky, to
help them forget their worries for the time being and just have some fun. All
of them should have access to Starlight's programs. Will you join me to help
make that a reality?"

Having been involved with Starlight for several years and now serving as
Starlight's national spokesperson, Corbin has devoted himself to brightening
the lives of the seriously ill children any way he can.
