Starlight Families Enjoy Odyssey Cruise

The Starlight Children’s Foundation Midwest had an unforgettable afternoon July 13th! 400 Starlight families cruised past the Chicago skyline on the newly renovated Odyssey cruise ship. Families took in the gorgeous city view from the observation deck and relaxed at the rooftop lounge. Kids and parents enjoyed a delicious meal together, after which they hit the dance floor and danced the rest of the afternoon away! With an outstanding city view, great food and dancing, the cruise was definitely a favorite Starlight event of our Starlight kids and parents!
