Radio Lollipop Gold Coast has been supported by Broadwater Rotary Club in a huge way this year. The club organised a lawn bowls day called Bare Your Soul For Kids day, which is a lawn bowls day dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children.
Combining entry fees, raffle tickets and auction items, the club raised a total of $4000 for Radio Lollipop at the Gold Coast University Hospital and Southport Special School.

Gold Coast chairperson Elizabeth met with the club and was presented with the cheque. As the team expands their services to the children’s emergency department and intensive care unit in the hospital, funds like this are crucial for the volunteers to maintain their outstanding service – it means more bubbles, stickers, crafts and ultimately smiles and laughter for sick children.

Dennis O’Brien, the president of Rotary Club of Broadwater Southport, is extremely proud of the event.

“Bare Your Soles For Kids has become another wonderful annual Gold Coast community event and has established a fine tradition of raising funds for programs that benefit our youth,” said O’Brien.

Over its 12 year history, the Bare Your Soles For Kids has raised more than $300,000 for local communities and supported over 100 individuals in need on the Gold Coast.

Radio Lollipop would like to express their deep thanks to Dennis O’Brien and the group at Broad water Rotary for their support since the beginning of Radio Lollipop on the Gold Coast.
