- FIFI BECOMES OFFICIAL PRE-SCHOOL AMBASSADOR FOR
JEANS FOR GENES -
Jeans for Genes and Chapman Entertainment, the creators of Fifi and the Flowertots, officially announce denim, dungaree-wearing, Fifi Forget-Me-Not, as the 2009 pre-school ambassador for Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 2nd October.
Jeans for Genes Day is an annual fundraising day in October when millions of children and adults across the UK make a small donation to wear their jeans to work or school. The money raised on Jeans for Genes Day funds vital care and support for children and families affected by genetic disorders, and research into the causes and cures of these conditions.
There are more than five thousand genetic disorders that we currently know about and whilst many of these conditions are extremely rare, research has shown that over half of all childhood deaths are related to a genetic disorder.
Caroline Sharp, Head of Strategic Communications, Jeans for Genes says: "Nurseries and parents with young children are key supporters of the charity so we're thrilled to have Fifi on-board to promote Jeans for Genes Day 2009. With the help of Fifi and her friends we can encourage many more people to take part in the Day and raise vital funds to help change the world for children with genetic disorders."
Greg Lynn, Managing Director, Chapman Entertainment comments: "Fifi is the number one pre-school brand for girls in the UK and we are pleased to work with Jeans for Genes to raise awareness and funding for such a good cause. Fifi loves to wear her denim outfits and we hope she can encourage pre-schoolers across the country to join in the fun on 2nd October for Jeans for Genes Day!"
Fifi and the Flowertots stars the voice of Jane Horrocks as denim wearing Fifi Forget-Me-Not. The hit series launched in 2005 and has become a firm favourite with pre-schoolers across the country. Developed by Bob the Builder originator and designer and developer of Roary the Racing Car, Keith Chapman, the beautifully constructed programmes have brought to life a series of wonderful characters who inhabit an enchanting garden filled world. The fabulous tales of Fifi and the Flowertots have an organic and responsible feel without losing that unstoppable air of fun and games.
Tune in every 'Flowertot Friday' to see the new third series of the popular pre-school programme on Five's Milkshake! at 8.00am, with old favourites appearing weekly on Nick Jr at 2pm and 9.30pm and 6.15pm at weekends.
