Radio Lollipop Gold Coast turned 3 last week and to celebrate such a momentous occasion, we held three huge nights of birthday parties in the Radio Lollipop studio!

We pulled out all the stops and were extremely lucky to have Dora the Explorer, the fabulous Balloon Kings and delightful singer McKenzie all come in to share the fun and games with the children (and the volunteers!).

The very talented “Balloon Kings” visited to make the children some seen-to-be-believed Harley Davidson’s, ladybirds, sharks and many wierd and wonderful animals out of twisted balloons. The Balloon Kings also generously decorated the Radio Lollipop Studio especially for our parties, which looked so colourful and fun.

On Thursday night, regular special guest McKenzie sang some of her fantastic new songs for the children. We’ve planned many more guest appearances for McKenzie in the near future and we are certainly enjoying seeing her bring joy to everyone she performs for. We know that McKenzie has touched many of our visiting children with her enchanting voice.

We were also lucky to have yummy chocolate cakes on each night, including a special cake from Jess, our wacky volunteer, which of course was scoffed down in seconds.

It was party, party, PARTY last week here on the Gold Coast and the wide-eyed children were just as excited as us, jumping with glee all the way. Many parents commented on the enthusiasm and joy that has been brought into the Gold Coast hospital through Radio Lollipop over the past 3 years.

We CAN’T wait for the big number 4 next year, bigger and better!
