Rugby and Reme Join the Give Kids The World Family
Kissimmee, FL (PRWEB) August 15, 2014 -- Give Kids The World (GKTW) is proud to introduce the newest and furriest members of our character family – Charlotte-based MSky Production’s Rugby and Reme. This Bernese Mountain Dog duo are the stars of “The Rugby and Reme Adventure Series” for children and recently made their debut at the 70-acre, nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides weeklong, cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
The co-visionary behind the playful pups, Doug Couch, vividly remembers that wonderful snowy day he brought home the actual brother and sister puppies from Vermont that inspired the series. With his business partner Carol Lee Cathey, Doug parlayed his love for his beloved pets into several production companies. Friends constantly commented that the funny stories and adventures about their antics would make great children’s stories. So, Doug and Carol Lee took that to heart and spent the last seven years passionately creating both a family entertainment and publishing company around a myriad of funny animated characters.
They learned about Give Kids The World through one of the artists working on the series who had worked on GKTW Village. Once Doug and Carol Lee toured the Village, they fell in love with it and wanted to do something special to support the GKTW mission.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rugby and Reme as the newest members of our GKTW character family,” said Pamela Landwirth, president of GKTW. “They are already putting smiles on children’s faces and create happiness that inspires hope for children with life-threatening illnesses for many years to come.”
”The Rugby and Reme Mascots represent our commitment to making children smile and laugh, and what children are more deserving than the ones at GKTW,” said Doug.
Stay tuned for the further adventures of Rugby and Reme as they appear on their new Rugby and Reme Adventure Web Site (http://www.rugbyandreme.com) which will go live in August.
Also a video short will be released in late September and out of pre-production are an Animated TV Cartoon Series, a Full Feature Animated Movie and a Live Action Movie.
Keep an eye out for these two amazing canines as they embark on their latest venture around their new Florida home at GKTW Village!
