Bannershop Australia supports GC Radio Lollipop

Posted on by

Bannershop Australia has generously donated a brand new banner to Radio Lollipop Gold Coast in preparation for their upcoming Lollipop Day Gala Fundraising Dinner on 15 October.

A beautifully designed piece with a crisp white background and clear red descriptions, the banner will definitely be put to good use.

The Gold Coast team at Radio Lollipop can’t thank Bannershop Australia enough for their support!

Hope4Health supports Gold Coast team

Posted on by
Gold Coast Radio Lollipop has once again received support from local organisation HOPE4HEALTH, receiving a cheque for over $1200.
In order to raise funds, Hope4Health organised an Op Shop ball, where guests dressed up in knick knacks found in various op shops. All ticket sales and donations from the night went directly to Radio Lollipop.
The Hope4Health Op Shop Ball has become an annual event, organised by students who attend the Gold Coast campus of Grifftith University. Hope4Health is a non-profit charity which aims to improve health outcomes for local, rural, Indigenous and international communities.
The Gold Coast team thanks Hope4Health for their continued support – the guests that evening were certainly an amazing sight!

Gold Coast and Brisbane runners raise over $4000 in the recent marathon

Posted on by

It wasn’t for the glory and it certainly wasn’t to break record time; Gold Coast and Brisbane volunteers joined together to conquer the 5.7km walk in the Gold Coast Airport Marathon, raising funds and awareness for Radio Lollipop along the way.

The team were hard to miss when they hit the tracks donned in colourful tutus, bubble wands and sparkling foil balloons. They certainly made a huge impact; fellow runners photographed selfies with our daring group while onlooking crowds cheered and whistled from the sidelines.

With the volunteers taking to their social media pages, the team of 12 successfully raised a total of $4208.70.

The money will go towards prizes, craft essentials and games to ensure Radio Lollipop continues to deliver the best bedside service to sick children in hospital.

Radio Lollipop Gold Coast wins Grill’d stores’ Local Matters initiative

Posted on by

Radio Lollipop Gold Coast has received amazing support from two Grill’d store locations, at Robina Town Shopping Centre and Harbour Town in Biggera Waters, Gold Coast.

Radio Lollipop was one of the entrants in the Grill’d “Local Matters” initiative, where customers are given a token to nominate the charity they’d like to see receive the top donation of $300 at the end of each month. Second and third place each receive a $100 donation. With the help of the local community, Radio Lollipop Gold Coast were voted into first place at Robina Town Shopping Centre, while placing a close second at the Harbour Town store.

 

Both Grill’d stores have shown extraordinary generosity, with the Robina location donating boxes of colouring-in pencils to put in Radio Lollipop welcome packs, and Harbour Town offering their help by donating onions for the fundraising Bunning’s BBQs.

Combined with the prize money, the Gold Coast team will now have more to put towards creating a WOW-experience for every child admitted into hospital.
