To celebrate this new chapter in Scared Silly, stars Boog & Elliot joined Smokey Bear and Boys & Girls Clubs of America to help promote the importance of campfire safety.
On March 7, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) and Sony Pictures Animation joined forces with the Ad Council, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Association of State Foresters, the National Forest Foundation (NFF) and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) to raise awareness for Smokey Bear’s national wildfire prevention campaign, using #SmokeyBearHug. OPEN SEASON: SCARED SILLY stars Boog & Elliot received a hug from Smokey Bear over the weekend for promoting campfire safety, by kicking off a nation-wide program teaching youth from the Boys and Girls Club of America how to safely build, manage and put out a campfire.
Jennifer Anderson, SVP, Marketing, SPHE mentioned: We are so pleased that Boog & Elliot are serving as ambassadors for Smokey’s wildfire prevention campaign. Teaching children campfire safety tips will bring the importance of wildfire prevention to a whole new generation.”
James Hubbard, deputy chief of the agency’s State and Private Forestry informed: “The U.S. Forest Service educates children to prevent unwanted wildfires. We are excited Boog and Elliott will help spread Smokey Bear’s message of campfire safety. This partnership helps today’s youth become tomorrow’s adults who use fire responsibly and care for our nation’s forests and grasslands.”
On behalf of every Boys & Girls Club youth member participating, SPHE will donate a tree to be planted by the National Forest Foundation (NFF) to replace those lost during natural disasters such as wildfires, and insect and disease outbreaks.
“Our national forests and grasslands are home to thousands of animals, from bears like Boog to deer like Elliot. They also provide clean water, clean air and opportunities for hiking, camping and playing in nature. Wildfires, insects and disease can negatively impact forest health, which is why we’re very grateful to SPHE for supporting reforestation efforts through our Trees for US program. Together, we can ensure our national forests and grasslands are healthy and vibrant for generations to come,” said Marcus Selig, Interim President at the NFF.
We encourage you to participate in spreading awareness of campfire safety by posting your own fire safety photos using #SmokeyBearHug online.
