Business suits were exchanged for poodle skirts and pony tails, leather jackets and rolled-up jeans and t-shirts.<\/p>\n<p>The 50&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s came to life when everyone hit the dance floor to the tunes of Charlie Tona &#038; the Soul Providers, George Galfo&#8217;s Mystics and Tommy Mara and the Crests.  Even one of Miami Children&#8217;s Hospital long-time patients, Elizabth June Silver, got in on the fun.  The 14-year old hoola-hooped her way into the hearts of everyone.  All the money donated to her was then turned over to Radio Lollipop.<\/p>\n<p>Founder and creator of Radio Lollipop, Hedley Finn, also joined on the fun and celebrated twenty-five successful years of Radio Lollipop.  Mr Finn thanked the audience for their continued support of the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Radio Lollipop is eternally grateful to Mindy Lang, on-air personality from majoc 102.7 Oldies Radio.  Her continuous devotion and commitment has ensured a successful Sock Hop each year.  Thanks to our many generous, silent auction donaors and raffles sales, this rocking and rolling night brought in a total profit of $28,000.  The money raised will be used for the day-to-day operations of the unique play and radio service, being laughter and fun to the patients of Miami Children&#8217;s Hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans and supporters opened up their hearts and their pockets to Radio Lollipop this past Valentine&#8217;s Day during the Magic 102.7s Fifth Annual Sock-Hop, benefitting Radio Lollipop, at the Hyatt Regency Miami.
