"A Father's Legacy: The True Story of Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel"
"What began with a rescued baby squirrel in 1978 evolved into something far more meaningful than anyone could have imagined. My parents, Chuck Sr. and Lou Ann Best, created more than just entertainment - they built a legacy of love, laughter, and life-saving education that has touched millions.
After my father's tragic drowning in 1997, our family's mission transformed. What started as a unique show became a powerful platform for water safety awareness. My mother, Lou Ann, turned grief into purpose, using Twiggy's performances to teach children and families about the importance of water safety and life jackets - a message that has potentially saved countless lives.
For 45 years, this story has been about family, resilience, and making a difference. From humble beginnings in Florida to international recognition, Twiggy has been passed down through generations, each adding their own chapter to this remarkable story.
Now, we're working to preserve this legacy through a comprehensive documentary. We've begun capturing precious memories and interviews with Lou Ann, family members, and those who've been part of Twiggy's journey from the beginning. But we need your help to complete this important project.
Your support will help fund:
-In-depth interviews with Lou Ann and early Twiggy show pioneers
-Filming with family members who've carried on Chuck Sr.'s legacy
-Professional editing of historical footage and new content
-Production costs to ensure this story is told with the quality it deserves
-This isn't just about a water-skiing squirrel - it's about a family's journey of turning tragedy into triumph, about a father's memory living on through a mission of safety, and about the extraordinary ways love can create lasting change.
Help us tell this story. Help us preserve this legacy. Help us continue making a difference in Chuck Sr.'s memory. ️
