Lightyears from home

“Lightyears from home” follows the story of a vulnerable space creature who wakes up far from home and will do anything to get back there. It’s a story shared by many kids in hospital who are battling illness to get home. So, hospitals Australia-wide united with a mission to get them all home sooner.

THE FILM

 
 

A SYMBOL

Wherever you see the loveable character from the film, a donation is made to help sick kids get home sooner. Every sale of Coles pasta sauce helps them get home to family. Arnott’s lunch packs helps them return to school. Swisse’ vitamin gummies help sick kids to mend at home. And that’s to name just a few.

MERCHANDISE

Our character also opened up merchandising revenue streams. Plush toys were designed with a care label that encouraged parents to ‘wash me first, so I smell like home’. 23,000 keyrings were sold to help get sick kids home. And 17,000 scrubs were sold to help fund treatments kids in hospital so desperately need.
