Super Steps is designed to encourage teams to get active, strengthen connections, and contribute to meaningful impact. Whether participants walk, run, or set their own movement goals, every step taken helps bring moments of happiness and distraction for children experiencing the stress and uncertainty of serious illness and extended hospital stays.
Every dollar raised directly supports Starlight programs like Captain Starlight, Livewire, and Starlight Express Rooms. These programs create moments of escape and happiness for kids who spend long days – and sometimes months- in hospital. These vital moments of play and distraction offer children and families a sense of normalcy during these incredibly difficult times.
How Super Steps Works for Workplaces
Joining Super Steps as a workplace is a straightforward process. Most organisations begin by:
- Nominating a workplace captain to coordinate the challenge
- Setting a collective fundraising goal
- Inviting employees to join
Teams can be created across departments, offices, or locations, making it easy for colleagues to participate together no matter where they work.
Resources to Support Your Team
Starlight provides a suite of ready-to-use resources to help your workplace launch and maintain momentum throughout the month. These include:
- Communication templates
- Posters and digital assets
- Social media graphics
- A workplace dashboard to track progress.
These tools make it easy to share updates, celebrate milestones, and keep your team engaged.
How the Challenge Works Day-To-Day
Once registered, employees log their steps individually through the Super Steps Platform. Their movement contributes to your organisation’s overall totals, helping build a sense of shared progress and collective achievements.
Many workplaces choose to implement their own internal initiatives to keep the energy high, such as:
- Kick-off events to launch workplace participation
- Themed walking meetings and catch-ups
- Weekly updates or leaderboards
- Friendly competitions between teams or departments
Small touches such as these help maintain engagement and reinforce the purpose behind the challenge.
