British singer and Grammy award winning multi-instrumentalist, Imogen Heap, made Radio Lollipop her official charity for one night at a local show at The Fillmore in Miami Beach. Heap, touring through North America during her Ellipse World Tour, agreed to donate all proceeds from her downloadable improvised song during her show, to benefit Radio Lollipop. At each stop during her tour, Heap is choosing a different local charity.

Before she performed her improvised song, Heap described what Radio Lollipop is to the audience and then said that we are a great and cool charity; therefore she decided to go with us. Heap made her very own Radio Lollipop banner and held it up for people to take pictures of.

Terrific Tuesday volunteer, Melissa Ruiz-Lau and Thrilling Thursday member, Andrew Geffner, helped promote our program to concert goers. “It was pleasant to see such an interest in our organization and the prospect of Imogen Heap’s fans becoming volunteers,” said Geffner.

“We were greeted by a mom and dad who told us of how grateful they are to Radio Lollipop and its volunteers. They said they spent quite some time at Miami Children’s Hospital for both their kids a long time ago,” said Ruiz-Lau.

Radio Lollipop would like to thank Imogen Heap for choosing us as her charity during her concert in Miami, in what was both a fun and successful event for everyone.
