Aeromedical charity CareFlight has provided ongoing support to Radio Lollipop over the years, including brightening the hospital experience for many children with the donation of hundreds of bears to Radio Lollipop studios in Queensland hospitals.
Thanks to the kind donation from CareFlight, the Gold Coast, Logan and Brisbane Radio Lollipop studios filled up with more than 200 CareFlight bears this year before finding homes with the children in hospital.
The Gold Coast also had a visit from CareFlight’s mascot bear, Chief, who visited the wards with Radio Lollipop volunteers to deliver bears and give high fives. The children were delighted to make room on their hospital bed for their new bears, with the astronaut and alien themed bears being among the favourites.
Radio Lollipop are grateful to CareFlight for their kind donations and continuing support. The bears are a great comfort and distraction to the children in hospital.
