Local supporters help Radio Lollipop Gold Coast this Christmas

Posted on by

This Christmas, Radio Lollipop Gold Coast were lucky to have, not one, but two special guests over the festive season. Santa Clause (Live to Give Projects) and the “Present Fairies” (Ashy Bines) joined our Gold Coast team to spread their love and joy in the form of laughter, bubbles, and generously donated presents.

For one family the Christmas cheer was an extremely welcome sight, as their son, Ethan, was set to celebrate his birthday (Christmas Day) in hospital.

“Radio Lollipop do an amazing job to put smiles on all the kids faces and Ethan was one of them so thanks again”, said Rebecca, Ethan’s mum.

While the Christmas season is over, it is still very important to remember the power of giving, and how much of a difference the support of our community can make. Our deepest thanks to Live to Give Projects and Ashy Bines for donating such wonderful gifts and their time to create one of our favourite events of the year.

Hope4Health has once again selected Radio Lollipop Gold Coast as their chosen charity this year, with all proceeds from their annual Op Shop Ball donated directly to our organisation. The event successfully raised $600, which will be put towards new crafts, games, balloons and welcome packs – all the essentials for our Radio Lollipop volunteers to help put the cheer back into kids in hospital.

As a non-profit organisation, Hope4Health is a 1,000 member strong charity which aims to improve health outcomes for local, rural, indigenous and international communities. Hope4Health also host other fantastic fundraising events throughout the year to support other causes.

Special thanks to Alistair McCombe and Cameron Harrison for organising this donation and for their support.

Tallebudgera Lions Club Supports Radio Lollipop Gold Coast

Posted on by

The Tallebudgera Lions Club has helped Radio Lollipop continue to put smiles on sick kids’ faces by making a generous donation to Radio Lollipop Gold Coast.

The Club invited Radio Lollipop Gold Coast Chairperson Martine Simonds and PR Officer Jaime Siu to a recent Club event and cheerfully presented them with a $250 donation. Club President Steve Marlor and Treasurer Roy Mitchell expressed great interest towards Radio Lollipop Gold Coast, with one of the members asking the volunteers for the Radio Lollipop wish list. “We support the local community first and it was a unanimous decision to go ahead and support the good work of Radio Lollipop volunteers,” Mr Mitchell said.

Radio Lollipop is completely self-funded by community donations and all funds go directly to running programs and craft activities to cheer up sick children in hospital. The Lions Club donation will help Radio Lollipop lift children’s spirits each weeknight at the Gold Coast Hospital.

The Gold Coast team is also currently fundraising for a big transition from the Southport Hospital Campus to the brand new Gold Coast University Hospital in late September this year. If you would like to help, please donate via rldo.radiolollipop.org/donate

Thank you to all the members of the Tallebudgera Lions Club for your support.
