Ryan Seacrest Foundation Inc

TO BUILD BROADCAST MEDIA CENTERS IN CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS

THE RYAN SEACREST FOUNDATION'S PRIMARY INITIATIVE IS TO BUILD BROADCAST MEDIA CENTERS, NAMED SEACREST STUDIOS, WITHIN PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS FOR PATIENTS TO EXPLORE THE CREATIVE REALMS OF RADIO, TELEVISION AND NEW MEDIA. THE AIM OF SEACREST STUDIOS IS TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THE HEALING PROCESS FOR THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING THEIR STAY BY DEVELOPING THESE CENTERS TO BRING AN UPLIFTING SPIRIT TO THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE ACCESS TO MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES WILL BRING PATIENTS EXCITING AND STIMULATING ADVENTURES AND ENCOURAGE OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS DURING TREATMENT. SEACREST STUDIOS ARE DESIGNED TO BE A FUN AND SAFE PLACE FOR PATIENTS AND TO BRING AN UPLIFTING SPIRIT TO THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. RSF BELIEVES ACCESS TO MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES CAN BRING PATIENTS EXCITING AND STIMULATING ADVENTURES AND ENCOURAGE OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS DURING THEIR MEDICAL JOURNEY.THE FOUNDATION BRINGS SPECIAL GUESTS AND CELEBRITIES TO SEACREST STUDIOS FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO MEET, INTERVIEW AND WATCH PERFORM. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE FOUNDATION, OVER 1,400 CELEBRITY GUESTS HAVEVISITED THE 14 SEACREST STUDIOS. IN ADDITION TO CELEBRITY VISITS, THEPROGRAMMING OF EACH STUDIO ALLOWS PATIENTS TO PLAY GAMES, ENGAGE INEDUCATIONAL SHOWS , HOST THEIR OWN RADIO AND TV SHOWS, LEARN TO USE STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY, PLUS MUCH MORE.PATIENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME DOWN TO THE STUDIO TO PARTICIPATE ORTHEY CAN WATCH THE PROGRAMMING FROM THE TV IN THEIR ROOM VIA ACLOSED-CIRCUIT NETWORK. THE FOUNDATION ALSO HAS CREATED THE ABILITY TOINTERCONNECT ALL OF THE SEACREST STUDIOS, SO PROGRAMMING CAN BE SHAREDWITH HOSPITALS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
