Rubber Duck Could Fatten Your Wallet

  • Genesee Community College

A small, yellow rubber duck could be just what you were looking for to fatten your wallet. In fact, it could fatten it by up to hundreds of dollars! Genesee Community College Students in Rick Dudkowski's Business Problems and Management Class and the Business Forum Club have set their ducks afloat with one goal in mind; raising money for United Way.
 
[img_assist|nid=4870|title=United Duck Derby|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=0|height=50]The students assignment was to create fundraisers and events to raise money that will contribute to the 2009 United Way campaign titled "Live United". Students are selling duck tickets from now until the day of the race, Thursday, March 12 at 1:00pm. All of the ticket purchasers will be assigned to a numbered rubbered duck. The ducks will then be set free in the olympic size pool at Genesee Community College. With the help of a current, the first duck to make it to the end of the swimming pool wins. The prize?- depends on what you paid for the ticket. Students are selling the tickets in dollar incriments from $1 to $5. You win a percent of all money raised based on how much you buy your ticket for. If a $1 duck wins, the winner gets 10% of all money. If a $2 duck wins the winner gets 20%, $3=30%, $4=40%, and a $5 duck gets 50% of the money. The students have set a goal to raise over $500, which is the amount that the students raised last year, to donate to The United Way.
 
The duck race is being modeled after the race that took place a couple years ago in the Tonawanda Creek as a fundraiser for youth activities at the Royal Rink (now Falletti Ice Arena). The duck race is the second of two fundraisers that the group has planned. The first one was a carnation sale where over $150 was raised.
