Major radio stations unite for Radio Lollipop on 28 June 2013

Major radio stations in Brisbane and the Gold Coast will create history when they join forces for Radio Lollipop on Friday 28 June. This is an important story for all Queensland families!

Imagine just for a moment spending time in hospital. You’ve never been to hospital before, and everything you see and hear feels unfamiliar and a little scary. Doctors and nurses keep coming in and out of the room… a room you have to share with strangers, all at a time when you feel stressed and unwell. Now imagine for a moment this happening to you as a small child…

Our team of Radio Lollipop volunteers support children in hospital with a range of entertainment and activities that brighten their day, but the biggest toy in our toy box is the RADIO. Nothing is more powerful than watching a child smile for the first time all day because they heard their name on the radio, or seeing a child forget their cares as they sing along to their favourite song.

Our Radio Lollipop volunteers share experiences like these with more than 12,000 Queensland kids every year! And now more than ever they need YOUR help!

Eight major radio stations in South East Queensland are rising to the challenge including Brisbane’s 4BC, 4BH, B105, 4MMM, 4KQ, 97.3FM, 106.9 Nova FM, 612 ABC and Gold Coast ABC. So listen out for Radio Lollipop on Friday 28 June and help us raise $250,000 so that Radio Lollipop can relocate to three new Queensland children’s hospitals.
