On May 6th, 2015, Radio Lollipop celebrated its 19th birthday with a candy-themed Lolli-Land Birthday Bash. Patients danced and sang the night away as we celebrated what Radio Lollipop is all about – providing fun and laughter for our patients and families. Hosted by long-time friend and Radio Lollipop supporter, DJ Laz of HITS 97.3, patients and families were treated to a playroom filled with activities to choose from.
Whether karaoke-ing at the top of their lungs or posing for a picture with their friends at our photo booth, patients got their fill of fun activities throughout the night. In true birthday fashion, the playroom was filled with activity stations and delectable food & refreshments. Guests both in the playroom and in their own rooms experienced the sweet sounds of DDLUX and musicians from Fusion Media, as they roamed the hospital serenading patients. Other highlights included special visits from the Miami HEAT Dancers & Burnie the Mascot. A representative from the Live Like Bella Foundation was present to award Radio Lollipop a check and express their gratitude for the impact Radio Lollipop had while Bella was a hospital guest.
Long-term NCH patient, Ana, had a blast celebrating Radio Lollipop’s 19th birthday. Although Ana is in a wheelchair with limited mobility, she let the music move her and with the support and encouragement of family and Radio Lollipop volunteers, Ana was able to dance the night away. She mastered the Cha-Cha Slide with her fellow patients, volunteers and the HEAT Dancers.
