Zachary’s visits to Le Bonheur became more enjoyable when Seacrest Studios opened in the hospital in 2023. During Thanksgiving that year, Zachary was a patient in the hospital. He participated in a game show broadcast on the television in his room from Seacrest Studios and won a prize. Throughout his three-day stay, he visited the studio every day and was invited by staff members to participate in the shows they were airing.

Lindsey Ott as she reflects on her unforgettable internship at Seacrest Studios inside Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. From leading live shows to connecting with patients and gaining hands-on media experience, Lindsey shares how this internship shaped her passion for children's entertainment and prepared her for a career in film and television production. 

One of my absolute favorite things to do is to visit Seacrest Studios all around the country. The Ryan Seacrest Foundation are farmers of light and I am always so humbled and excited when they ask me to come hang with the kids while we’re on tour. It fills up my cup so much while also reminding me how incredible these kids, families and healthcare workers are!

“We all have challenges in our lives, but those challenges seem trivial when you are in the company of young kids who are fighting for their lives,” said ENCO President Ken Frommert, “We witnessed first-hand the joy that the Ryan Seacrest Foundation is bringing to kids and their parents, and it is inspiring to play a role in their efforts to offer healing opportunities for these families.”
