HAIRY DAWG TEAMS UP TO INSPIRE YOUR KIDS
University of Georgia mascot, Hairy Dawg, has joined other celebrities such as Anthony Munoz, former NFL Pro Bowler, Chris Duhon, member of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, Joey Cheek, Olympic Gold Medalist, and many others to deliver their inspirational stories direct to your children through Inspiremykids.com, a creative new business that’s getting back to basics.
“We think of it as a low tech, high touch solution in a high tech, low touch society,” said Jamie Sargent, President of inspiremykids.com. “Kids love getting mail! So, what better way to inspire, transform, and encourage kids to go after their dreams, than an actual letter from their personal hero that they can hold in their hands, show to their friends and hang on their wall?
Inspiremykids.com is an innovative new website, launched on May 7, 2007, that provides a portal for parents, grandparents, and anyone looking to inspire a child to greater achievement to purchase personalized snail mail’ style letters from their child’s hero direct to that child’s mail box.
“Sports stars resonate and connect with our kids in ways that often times parents can't. So many of these athletes have truly inspirational messages that can motivate our own children to pursue their dreams, athletic or otherwise, with the will of a champion” said Sargent.
Inspiremykids.com has already established relationships with stars from the NFL, NBA, MLB, Olympic Games, and Universities. New athletes are being added on a daily basis. Portions of all sales are directed to charitable causes supported by the athletes of inspiremykids.com.
A personalized letter from Hairy Dawg to your child is $69.95 and a digitally signed letter is $49.95. A portion of the proceeds generated by letters from Hairy Dawg will benefit the University of Georgia Cheerleading program.
