A massive thank you to everyone at the Kirkintolloch Male Voice Choir for inviting us to their Charity Evening and presenting us with a fantastic £1800 cheque.
The Charity Concert at St Mary’s on Thursday 30th November incorporates the 6th Primary Schools Choral Festival. Schools compete for the Blincow Shield sponsored by Jakemans Confectionary. Well done to all those involved, it was great evening with great talent.
Thanks again to the KMVC choir for their generous donation! #Forthekids
Radio Lollipop Gold Coast recently received a very generous cash donation from Broadwater Southport Rotary Club.
Our Fundraising Coordinators were invited to attend one of the club’s meeting at the Southport Yacht Club to be presented with the cheque. Katy and Jaime were very humbled to receive the $2,000 donation on behalf of the Gold Coast team.
Radio Lollipop were among other organisations which the rotary club was presenting donations to.
The club’s main focus is on assisting Youth locally on the Gold Coast , Australia Wide and Internationally. The volunteers in attendance thought that it was great to see that the club was also helping out other local organisations whilst being a volunteer organisation themselves.
Previously our Gold Coast Volunteers supported the club by helping out at their Kokoda Memorial Walk in 2014 where they were very impressed with our Roadshow.
The funds will go towards craft supplies, updating and maintaining our radio equipment and new games and activities to entertain the children at The Gold Coast Griffith University Hospital.
We would like to once again thank the Rotary Club of Broadwater Southport for their continued support.
Because of partnerships such as these, Radio Lollipop Gold Coast can continue to do what they do best, put smiles on the faces of children in hospital.
The 2015 Radio Lollipop Ball has raised a grand total of of £20,500!
The annual event was held on Friday 2nd October at the Roxburghe Hotel. It included a prize draw, silent auction and main auction which raised the money to be used in the ongoing delivery of the Radio Lollipop service at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. All of the guests at this year’s fundraising ball got into the Hawaiian theme complete with flower garlands and a limbo game! The venue was decorated with tiki totem poles including specially designed masks by the children at the Sick Kids.
Our sincere thanks go to all involved especially our corporate supporters: Thomson Gray; LEWIS Creative Consultants; Forbo Flooring Systems; Digital Print Solutions (Scotland) Limited; Brian A Reid Photography; and Edinburgh Computer Services.
To celebrate Music Therapy Week, Radio Lollipop Brisbane was delighted to have Alexis Curtis, Winner of the Voice, sing for the children in the studio.
Music is therapeutic and a welcomed distraction for children in hospital and Radio Lollipop is very grateful to Alexa for entertaining the children with Girl on Fire, Ava Maria and one of the top played Radio Lollipop songs, Let It Go from the movie Frozen.The children were excited to be singing along to some of their favourite songs in the studio and from their bedsides.
A very special thanks to Alexa for taking the time to visit and make the children’s time in hospital memorable for a good reason.
