Thank you – uniform free day 2008

Uniform Free Day is Radio Lollipop WA’s major fundraiser held each year with the fantastic support of Transperth and all the Bus, Train and Ferry drivers across the city.

Thank you to everyone who made a donation this year.

Thanks also to the support of Transperth a Radio Lollipop branded bus (see picture) will be driving the streets of Perth for the next two years. Keep an eye out for it!

Cha-cha slide at starbucks

Last month Radio Lollipop were invited along to Starbucks store at the new Silverburn Shopping Complex in Glasgow.

The Radio Lollipop volunteers were allowed out of the studio to entertain the shoppers as well as the infamous Radio Lollipop dancers showing everyone how to do the Cha-Cha Slide.

A great day was had by all and a total of £641.77 was raised.

A big thank you to all the Starbucks staff who got involved.

The shak attack

It was excitement on the wards this week as Picasso, Curio and Nitro ventured out from the Channel 9 afternoon kids show “The Shak” to come and visit the Manic Monday crew at Radio Lollipop Mater in Brisbane. Picasso was trying to find an answer to a viewers question of ‘What do children in hospital do for fun?’ and she was able to find lots of things with us.

Whilst Picasso developed her ‘radio voice’ and acted as studio assistant to our Famous Pop Princess Simone, Curio and Nitro went up onto the wards to meet some children who were making disco glasses with our wonderful ward visiting volunteers. The phones were ringing hot for Picasso as the children requested their favourite songs and answered competition questions. Check out Picasso and the Pop Princess in our photo.

The boys enjoyed sharing stories from snow boarding adventures to favourite toys. Then Curio and Nitro headed down to the studio for their turn as studio assistants and Picasso visited a few of the children on the wards as well. Picasso’s arts and craft skills came in handy to help one child complete a hand puppet.

A film crew was following all of the evening’s antics, so watch out for the Radio Lollipop TV stars. No doubt the film offers will be rolling in soon….

A big thanks to Jaye who organised things behind the scenes with Roy and to Scott our new Radio Lollipop Brisbane Chairperson and to the Pop Princess and the Manic Monday crew. Well done team.
