The Wiggles Announce North American Sponsorship Programs with Rascal + Friends
New York, NY – The world’s #1 preschool entertainers, The Wiggles, are proud to announce a two-pronged North American partnership with Rascal + Friends, an international award-winning premium baby brand. The program launches with a perfectly timed Summer Camp experience and will continue into 2021 as Rascal + Friends will take a sponsorship role in The Wiggles 30th anniversary tour next year.
Beginning the week of July 14th, The Wiggles will be partnering with Rascal + Friends to present a two-week virtual summer camp for toddlers and their parents, simply called, “Virtual Summer Camp with The Wiggles and Rascal + Friends.” The program will be hosted by Emma Wiggle and Captain Feathersword, and promises to keep little ones entertained with arts, crafts, singing, dancing, and some special pirate-worthy prizes. The Virtual Summer Camp will take place LIVE for 20-minute sessions July 14, 16, 21 and 23 from Noon-12:20 pm ET. All sessions will be available to families throughout North America on both The Wiggles and Rascal + Friends Facebook pages. After airing live, all the Virtual Summer Camp sessions will then be available on both The Wiggles and Rascal + Friends Facebook sites for the duration of Summer.
“The Wiggles have been trying to provide as much entertaining and educational content for families as possible throughout this pandemic,” said Emma Watkins, the Yellow Wiggle. “We are extremely excited to reimagine the summer camp experience with a virtual twist alongside our new partner Rascal + Friends.”
“We know our community of little rascals across North America are big fans of The Wiggles, so it’s been our pleasure to help make this virtual experience a reality for families,” said Rascal + Friends Global Marketing Manager, Amelia Watson.
The Wiggles are annually perhaps the most anticipated live concert experience for toddlers and their families. And while The Wiggles were forced to cancel their 2020 North American shows, due to COVID-19, plans are already underway for a blockbuster 2021 tour to celebrate The Wiggles 30th anniversary. The Wiggles are pleased to welcome Rascal + Friends as a tour sponsor for 2021. Details for the sponsorship program are still in development, but will include on premise presence at select venues for Rascal + Friends in both the United States and Canada. Full details will be announced later in the year.
