Saturday 19th November was a magical night in Wonderland as Radio Lollipop in Perth celebrated 20 years of entertaining children in Australian hospitals at their annual Gala.

Gala guests experienced the adventures of Alice when they presented their ticket to the Queen of Heart’s Card guards and followed the White Rabbit to Burswood International Resort’s Grand Ball Room.

Radio Lollipop Chairman, Max Veenhuyzen said;

“The Gala Ball is our organisation’s biggest social event and our aim was to get guests to experience the same kind of fun and joy that Radio Lollipop volunteers bring into the lives of sick children in hospitals across the state”.

Hosted by the Mad Hatter, Channel 7’s Steve Nelkovski, the evening included a three course meal, fine wine, entertainment and the charity’s annual auction and raffle.

The Wonderland Gala raised approximately $22,000 to help Radio Lollipop volunteers to put more smiles on the faces of children at Princess Margaret, Fremantle, Armadale, Murdoch and Joondalup hospitals.

The funds will go towards more craft, books, music and prizes and the continued maintenance and development of the radio program and other initiatives.

A big thank you goes to Radio Lollipop’s Western Australian charity coordinator, Melissa Dawes for organising such an amazing event.
