Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation: Giant Star Shimmer
(2004)
In 2004 Hasbro made a special little pony in order to support the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving seriously-ill children and their families. The Purchase of this little pony would benefit the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation as one dollar of your money went to the organization.
On Saturday, November 13, 2004, hundreds of children were treated to a My Little Pony movie celebration hosted for them at Loews Cineplex Theaters in Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago. The kids were walked down a 'pink' carpet and then enjoyed a showing of the new movie, "Dancing in the Clouds". They were also able to join in at the post-screening party with face-painting and storytelling. Each child received a My Little Pony gift bag courtesy of Harper Collins and American Greetings. In addition 400 "Dancing in the Clouds" videos were sent to nationwide hospitals that are serviced by the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation.

Giant Star Shimmer Like her small counterpart, this giant plush version was made to benefit the Starlight Children's Foundation. She was never available for purchase, instead she decorated the event halls where the Pink carpet events were being held. |
