Next time you wish upon a star… let it be your very own shining star! RUSS has partnered with the International Star Registry in a revolutionary new Shining Stars program. The program includes a plush Shining Stars Friend, crafted using only the finest of materials and identifiable by the crystal like star icon and embroidered Shining Stars logo on the paw pad, the chance to literally become a star by having your name officially recorded with a star in the sky, and access to the Shining Stars Web World. You can choose from a wide variety of Shining Stars Friends to buy for yourself or to give to your own shining star. Once purchased, you can log on to the Shining Stars website and using the secret code found inside the laminated tamper resistant hangtag; you can register and name your star with the International Star Registry. The name will be officially recorded in book form with the United States Copyright office. The website will show an image and the coordinates of your star which can be printed on a certificate that verifies its exact location in the cosmos. But there's more... for children of all ages, the website is a virtual universe where they can earn Glow points, send ecards, play customized games designed for different age groups, and find a galaxy of fun activities. Young or old, anyone who receives a Shining Stars Friend will have a cherished keepsake to treasure forever, as well as their own personal star to shine brightly throughout eternity. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will also be donated to the Starlight Starbright children's foundation. So, reach for the Shining Stars and get ready to embark on a magical virtual journey where everyone can... Wish... Share... Shine!
