The Little Rockers Radio RED NOSE Disco launches in 2015 with great success

On Friday 26th June 2015 over 20,000 littlies Australia wide switched on Little Rockers Radio to disco dance for 1-hour, wear red noses and raise funds for SIDS & Kids.

The Little Rockers RED NOSE Disco ran through Child Care Centres Australia wide for the first time in 2015 and was a huge success with close to 500 Child Care Centres switching on the disco and over 20,000 children dancing to The Wiggles, The MikMaks, Sam Moran, The Kazoos and more in an hour of disco fun!

SIDS and Kids Australia CEO Associate Professor Leanne Raven is delighted to have brought the Little Rockers RED NOSE Disco into Child Care Centres for the first time this year; “It’s fantastic to have our littlest members of the community joining in the fun this year to support the Red Nose Disco for Red Nose Day. Babies and children are who SIDS and Kids is all about, so it great to have them and their families supporting us.”

The Little Rockers RED NOSE 12-hour Disco also took place for the first time on Red Nose Day at Luna Park, Melbourne. With support from both Luna Park and ABC Music the 12-hour Disco was filled with live music (with Shelley Craft and Beau Young performing live for the first time as Animals Rock), disco dancing, face painting, ballooning and hula hooping fun!

Sarah Morrissey, founder of Little Rockers Radio, initially approached SIDS & Kids with the idea of a disco to raise funds for Red Nose Day in memory of her nephew, Dylan. “I’m delighted that SIDS & Kids were keen to work on it together and I hope to see it grow in the future, helping to generate funds and awareness for SIDS & Kids,” said Sarah.
