What We Need Is Rubber Ducks!
Rubber Ducky, you’re the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky, I’m awfully fond of you;
(Woo woo be doo)
Seriously who doesn’t like Rubber Ducks.
In fact according to some – Rubber Ducks and Fundraising Events are a perfect match!
If you’re looking for a great charity fundraising idea, then organising a rubber duck race for a charity fund raising event is the perfect idea! A rubber duck race is easy to set up, wholesale rubber ducks are quite cheap to buy and you can make a good profit for your charity. People love watching rubber ducks float down a river or stream and are generally only too happy to sponsor a rubber duck to help raise money for your charity. There are plenty of great charity fundraising ideas out there, but we think that a rubber duck race can be a unique and fun event for all.
This blurb was taken from a UK outfit that sells wholesale Rubber Ducks. it just goes to show that there is always someone out there happy to sell something….
To me plain yellow is a tad meh’ – if you want to make a ‘splash’ (LOL) at your fundraising event, consider ducks branded with your company logo or designer ducks.
Ok ok, so we got the ducky-vibe going on but what else for the rubber duck…
Wellstrap yourselves in, check your reality at the door and launch yourself into Rampant Duck Madness that is Rubber Duckzilla.
Lotta fun that. Also love the cool tag - ‘for people who don’t like drinking water’.
Yeah, I have admit it, I’d try an Oasis beverage based on this strange advertising event.
Imagine a fundraising event stormed by a RubberDuckzilla! Pocket ‘emptyingly’ Cool!
I also like that fact that you can extend this RubberDuckZilla event experience in the form of some equally strange online flash games http://www.rubberduckzilla.com/
Rubberduckzilla was brought to you by The Coca-Cola Company.
Yeah, we don’t know why either but we suspect someone got fired over it … or promoted… but be rest assured, something would have happened for sure. You can’t create rubberduckzilla online flash games and not expect something to happen. It’s like a butterfly flapping it’s wings and ka-bammbee! We got tsunami for dinner.
Look having said all that – my post today is all about giving some consideration to ducks within your event desing. They are proven winners when used within fundraising events and can be suprisingly effective as prizes and props during team building exercises where guests need to get all their proverbial ducks in a row.
Anyhoo, some other helpful linkagery for you -
