ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 6, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB:RVNM) is pleased to announce that the prestigious Field Museum in Chicago has teamed-up with Raven Moon on a new educational episode of Gina D's Kids Club called "Journey to The Land of Dinosaurs".
The program will air in May 2005 during the fifth anniversary of "Sue", the world's largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found. Fifteen years ago Susan Hendrickson discovered "Sue" and received national and international publicity from major newspapers, television networks and countries throughout the world.
The Field Museum has been touring a very successful exhibition about Sue throughout the United States. The Sue On Tour exhibit is scheduled to continue touring through 2006 and is sponsored by McDonald's. A cast of Sue will be part of a Japanese dinosaur traveling exhibit sponsored by Asahi Shimbun in 2005 with a four market tour beginning in March 2005.
In honor of Sue, the T. Rex's, fifth anniversary at The Field Museum in Chicago, a year of celebration is in store. One of the many events planned at the Field Museum will include guest appearances by Susan Hendrickson and Gina D to kick-off a special reading program for children called the Reading Across America Program (RAAP). RAAP will encourage parents to read at least one book a week to their children and to support their local library. At the event, Gina D will read a book called "Sue" written by Susan Hendrickson and copies will be given to each child in attendance.
Raven Moon and The Field Museum are currently working on a joint marketing agreement which will promote "Gina D" and "Sue" products including videos, DVD's, and music CDs.
"There is a tremendous opportunity for The Field Museum, Raven Moon, and all of the sponsors. This is truly a great day for Gina D's Kids Club, Raven Moon Entertainment and The Field Museum in Chicago. This strategic alliance will benefit millions of children who will learn about dinosaurs by viewing this program. Once the program airs, we encourage parents to visit The Field Museum in Chicago with their children so that they can experience this educational exhibit in person," stated Joey DiFrancesco, Raven Moon CEO.
"'Gina D's Kids Club' is the best new children's educational program since Sesame Street which satisfies stations FCC requirements," stated Dr. Janice K. Battenberg, Educational Child Psychologist.
