Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is
providing the Ryan Seacrest Foundation with digital imaging
equipment such as digital cameras, lenses, and printers for the
Seacrest Studios at pediatric hospitals throughout the country.
The Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization dedicated to inspiring today’s youth through
entertainment and education-focused initiatives. RSF’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. RSF’s aim is
to contribute positively to the healing process for children and
their families during their stay by developing these centers to
bring an uplifting spirit to the hospital community.

The foundation currently has 14 Seacrest Studios at pediatric
hospitals nationwide. The foundation opened three studios last
year, including a studio at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in
Queens, NY, a short distance from Canon USA’s North American
Headquarters in Melville, NY. The grand opening event was in
September 2023, and Canon representatives were able to attend the
festivities and meet with members and support staff from the
foundation.
The Canon equipment provided to the studios will support the
patient’s creative abilities and help to produce content that will
be shared throughout the Seacrest Studios network. Canon camera and
lens equipment provided to the studios include Canon EOS R
Full-Frame Mirrorless Cameras such as the EOS R3, EOS R5, EOS R6
Mark II, and EOS R7, high-end Canon RF L-Series Lenses such as
RF28-70mm F2 L USM, RF15-35mm F2.8L IS USM, and RF70-200mm F2.8 L
IS USM. In addition, Canon provided printing solutions to the
studios, including MEGATANK desktop printers, SELPHY wireless
compact photo printers, and IVY CLIQ camera and mini photo
printers.
“Canon is honored to partner with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation
to provide equipment to Seacrest Studios across the country,” said
Isao “Sammy” Kobayashi, president and CEO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “As a
digital imaging company, it was natural to partner with an
organization such as the Ryan Seacrest Foundation that provides
hands-on opportunities with our equipment to so many children to
help lift their spirits. The company is excited to see the creative
content the children produce, as well as the interns and studio
teams who run the Seacrest Studios.”
“We are thrilled to have the support of Canon and grateful for
their generous donation of state-of-the-art equipment,” said
Meredith Seacrest Leach, executive director and COO, Ryan Seacrest
Foundation. “Their gift provides our studios with leading resources
to capture high-quality content and allows our studio staff,
interns, and patients to gain skills using premier technology.”
Canon is looking forward to working alongside the Ryan Seacrest
Foundation to help support with equipment for future openings of
new Seacrest Studios, in addition to providing updated equipment to
the existing studios.
