Starlight Ambassadors Urge Fans to Pledge For Charity

For the third year, South East Melbourne Phoenix is partnering with Starlight Children’s Foundation for our annual Starlight Game.

Phoenix will raise funds for the Starlight Foundation throughout the week leading up to Saturday night’s game against Perth Wildcats, and will raise further funds at the game.

Phoenix sharpshooters Ryan Broekhoff and Cam Gliddon are the club's Starlight ambassadors for a second year. With both fathers to young kids, they understand the importance of helping sick kids, and making them smile. 

“I am honoured to be an ambassador for the Starlight foundation. As a father my son’s health and happiness are my main priority. The Starlight foundation do an incredible job of inspiring hope, bringing joy and smiles to children going through trying times,” Broekhoff said.

“I’m very proud to be an ambassador of Starlight for my second straight year. They do some incredible work and I’m looking forward to our Starlight game to highlight the importance of their organisation,” Gliddon said.

There are many ways Phoenix fans can get involved this week to help raise funds for Starlight.

• Fans can pledge a donation for every 3-pointer a Phoenix player scores during the game – CLICK HERE to make your pledge
• Starlight wands will be available to buy for $10, with all proceeds going to Starlight. With the wands lighting up John Cain Arena at half-time to shine a light on children in hospitals.
