Ryan Seacrest continues to wow fans with his long-standing philanthropic endeavors. And he just gave fans an update on something big he's been working on.
Back in August, the American Idol host revealed that his Ryan Seacrest Foundation would be opening its 13th state-of-the-art media center (called Seacrest Studios) at the Cohen Children's Medical Center in Queens, New York. A little more than a month later, Ryan went on Instagram to announce that the venture was ready for patients and their loved ones to use. What's more, he shared that he brought his family (who work with him) and celebrity guests Madelyn Cline, Stephen Sanchez and Charlotte Flair with him to attend the official ribbon cutting ceremony on September 19.
"Seacrest Studios #13 is LIVE on-air at @cohen_childrens!" he passionately captioned a heartwarming video from the monumental day. "Can’t wait to share more from this magical celebration in Queens, NY."
Needless to say, people immediately applauded Ryan's latest foundation update.
"What a beautiful gift. For millions of reasons this is such a blessing. 😇," one person wrote in the comments on Instagram. "Congratulations! Awesome job! You're going to make many children & their families very happy!" another commended him. "You are indeed an ANGEL 🙏🏻❤️," a different follower agreed.
Ryan adding another Seacrest Studio to his already impressive catalog comes less than six months after he traveled to Memphis for the opening of his 12th center at the Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. It also looks like he may be adding one more to his ever-growing list, as the Ryan Seacrest Foundation website shows plans to construct one this fall at the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
As for his feelings on the new Seacrest Studio finally being accessible for use, Ryan shared with ABC7 New York his passion for the work.
"I love what I do for a living, but what I do is a lot of fun, and it's not too serious," he told the outlet. "This has given me real purpose."
