Access Hollywood Co-Anchor Billy Bush

(CSRwire) ANAHEIM, CA – February 1, 2008 - Whether you're a 5th grader, a college student or just love films, you'll know that there's nothing like counting down the days until the season's big blockbuster movie hits the theaters. If you're a child confined to a hospital bed due to chronic or life-threatening illnesses, you can imagine that the thrill of seeing that first-run movie is unlikely to be on the agenda. Lollipop Theater Network is dedicated to bringing the magic of movies to hospitals nationwide, their goal -- to create a fun escape from the daily reality of the illnesses these children face and to offer them and their families the opportunity to see the big blockbusters at the same time as their friends and siblings. LOLLIPOP literally rolls out the red carpet, distributes movie tickets and memorabilia, and screens movies ONLY available in theaters. To ensure that no child ever misses a movie, LOLLIPOP provides multiple screenings in group and bedside settings. Lending a helping hand to this organization is Billy Bush, family man and co-anchor of Access Hollywood, the popular daily entertainment newsmagazine. His commitment to LOLLIPOP was sealed with his appearance on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, when he missed the answer to the question, 'What was Civil War general "Stonewall" Jackson's real first name?' Billy Bush talks about his life and his commitment to Lollipop Theater Network in this month's People Who Care feature on nonprofitshoppingmall.com, an ecommerce fundraising tool.
