Preparing for the Boys & Girls Clubs Event

My company was recently tapped by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee to help sponsor their annual fundraiser. This event is a duck race where participants can purchase/sponsor a rubber duck for $5 each with all proceeds benefiting the BGC. All of these ducks are then dumped into the river downtown to race downstream with the owners of the winning ducks receiving various prizes.

I was asked to create gift bags or "Quack Packs" for radio winners to receive through two of the sponsoring radio stations. These bags contained items for those winners related to the duck event such as t-shirts, rubber ducks, coupons and even duck tattoos!



I was also charged with helping to plan a reception for some of their key donors that would take place during the duck race. It was entitled, of course, a party for the VIDs or "Very Important Ducks." The reception we chose was the Fort Nashborough Plaza which is located directly beside the river and has a wonderful view of the entire race.



I will be posting pictures of the event as it took place as well.
