Lollipop Theater Network - Bringing movies to kids who can't go themselves

Lollipop Theater Network - Bringing movies to kids who can't go themselves
As a music therapist working with kids in the hospital, I saw that one of the biggest challenges parents faced (among the many) was providing their kids with as much of a typical every day experience as they could. From keeping up with school work to listening to music with friends, it's so important for parents, therapists and staff to work together to help bring normalcy to kids' lives, not just for their own development but for their morale as well. 
So, when we got wind of what the Lollipop Theater Network does for kids, we just had to share it with you in the hopes that we can all help continue their amazing work. In a nutshell, the Lollipop Theater Network works together with movie studios to bring movie screenings of current movies to the kids in the hospital. But they also organize celebrity visits, as well as artist days with Nickelodeon and DreamWorks, all of which can really do so much to help brighten days for kids and their families during a challenging hospital stay. 
You can help support their $200,000 goal by donating yourself, or sharing their mission with your own friends and family, as well as your social networks. If you've ever been a patient yourself or have had a little (or big) family member in the hospital, you know how much even the smallest luxuries that we take for granted can make a huge difference. -Kristen
