Toon Boom Supports Olympic Athlete
Montreal (June 6, 2006) – Emmy award-winning Toon Boom Animation Inc. today announced its sponsorship of Mark Heese, one of Canada’s premier beach volleyball players for over a decade, during his preparation for the upcoming Games of the XXIX Olympiad – Beijing 2008.
With his partner, John Child, Mark Heese has accomplished many firsts for Canadian beach volleyball. He brought home Canada’s first ever medal in volleyball at the inaugural beach volleyball Olympic event in Atlanta in 1996. He won Canada’s first FIVB International World Tour gold medal in Berlin 1996, and has won silver medals at two of the last three FIVB World Tour events hosted in Canada since 2000. As a beach volleyball pioneer in Canada, Mark has committed himself to being an ambassador for the sport whenever possible. He visits schools and camps on a regular basis spreading the values of the Olympic spirit and healthy living. He regularly receives media requests and makes it a priority to promote the sport, his team and his corporate partners.
"Toon Boom has a history of supporting excellence at animation festivals worldwide and by extending its support to sports, it only testifies to our commitment to encourage anyone to be the best at what they are, whether they are animators or athletes," said Joan Vogelesang, President and Chief Executive Officer at Toon Boom.
