"Our 'Comedy With a Cause' program has successfully raised a lot of money for charity while bringing top-notch performances to South Florida audiences," said THEY Director Todd Rice. "Radio Lollipop has provided humor and enjoyment for audiences of children at the hospital that truly need to be entertained the most. We're happy to help any way we can."Radio Lollipop believes in the healing power of play, having begun in 1978 at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children in Surrey England. Since it's beginning, the program has expanded to Australia, New Zealand, and of course the United States. More information on Radio Lollipop is available on their website at www.radiolollipop.org or at the Miami Children's Hospital website at www.mch.com/patient/radio_lollipop.htm. On August 14th, 1996, Miami Children's became the first hospital in the United States to host a Radio Lollipop.
THEY improv continues to change the face of Comedy in South Florida by bringing this show together at the Miami Improv for this worthwhile event, this time with the help of Majic 102.7. The station is a valuable member of this effort and has offered an extreme amount of support for the cause.
