Milo The Lucky Duck

Milo was a lucky duck this week when he played the New York Lottery. Adopt your duck for the Million Dollar Duck Race today and you could be a lucky duck too! Hey, you never know... It is the week of Milo the Million Dollar Duck's annual Manhattan Migration to South Street Seaport for the 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York. Tomorrow, Thursday, September 14th, Milo ends his tour of Manhattan and joins over 25,000 of his little rubber duck friends for a race in the East River.

Milo was headed to the Lottery studio to help Yoooo-laaaaanda Vega, one of his favorite people and a huge supporter of Special Olympics, draw the New York Lottery numbers this week. He got his feathers fluffed and was looking just ducky in anticipation but had to duck out last minute due to several opportunities that hatched unexepectedly - one of which was an appearance on CBS's Early Show this morning. If any of you were up at the quack of dawn this morning you might have seen him with all of his Special Olympics friends.

Fortunately Milo will have the chance to spend the entire day with Yolanda and other luminaries during a day of fun at the Seaport. Come down, meet Milo, play the Lottery's Lucky Duck Game, enjoy WPLJ's party patrol, later on dance to the music of The Bluetones on the main stage and watch those 25,000+ duckies race. We'll be there rain or shine - although we are hoping for more shine than rain. To see the full schedule of the day go to: www.2006duckrace.kintera.org.

Milo also wants to remind you that you can still adopt lucky duck(s), while supplies last, on the website until 9/14/06 at 1:00 PM and in person at the South Street Seaport until 5:00 PM ! So come on down to the Seaport tomorrow meet Milo and watch 25,000 of his little rubber ducky friends race. There will be fun, games, live music by The Bluetones on the main stage and flocks of ducks!

The 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York is sponsored by the New York Lottery, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Time Warner Cable, American Airlines, Daily News, Financial Times, WABC, Crunch Fitness, Blimpie and Enterprise Rent-A-Car .

MILO TAKES FLIGHT

Milo's migration is drawing to a close and his wings are getting tired. Being the Lucky Ducky he is, American Airlines and US Helicopter were there to give him a lift. It is week five of Milo the Million Dollar Duck's annual Manhattan Migration to South Street Seaport for the 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York. He has until Thursday, September 14th to tour Manhattan, stop at some hot spots and pay a visit or two before joining over 25,000 of his little rubber duck friends for a race in the East River.

Milo, Milo's agent and his good friend Alan Russo, a wonderful Special Olympics New York athlete from Staten Island, had a birds eye view of Manhattan as they flew a US Helicopter from JFK Airport to the Downtown Manhattan Heliport this week. During the flight, Milo and Alan took in spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty and even the race venue - the South Street Seaport. Upon arrival at the Heliport they were flocked by photographers, American Airlines representatives and the Special Olympics New York family! One Heliport representative commented "Milo is the biggest celebrity we have had here!" Not bad considering Eva Mendes, Molly Simms and Jared Leto were recently seen there. Maybe they were referring to his actual size... regardless, Milo was so flattered he's planning to use American Airlines and US Helicopter for all his migration needs. You should too! (Visit http://www.specialolympicsny.org/ on Monday for more pictures from Milo's Flight.)

Milo also wants to remind you that there is only ONE WEEK left until the race... be sure to adopt your lucky duck(s) now while there are still ducks available! Then come on down to the Seaport on Thursday, September 14th to meet Milo and watch 25,000 of his little rubber ducky friends race. There will be fun, games, live music by The Bluetones on the main stage and flocks of ducks! To see the full schedule of the day go to: www.2006duckrace.kintera.org.

Watch out lame ducks - this Duck is in serious training.

It is week four of Milo the Million Dollar Duck's annual Manhattan Migration to South Street Seaport for the 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York. He has until Thursday, September 14th to tour Manhattan, stop at some hot spots and pay a visit or two before joining over 25,000 of his little rubber duck friends for a race in the East River.

Milo is getting all pumped up for the big race. This week he could be found working out at Sweat the fitness center in the W New York Union Square. Where else could a hip, trendy celebrity like Milo go to get in some time on the exercise bike, elliptical machine and with the weights without causing too much of a stir? After his workout, Milo popped into UNDERBAR for a quick martini with the associates of the W New York Union Square who, along with many of their fellow Starwood Hotels & Resorts associates, have started a team and are adopting ducks to show their commitment to Special Olympics. It was an exhilarating, fun and glamorous stop in Milo's migration and he encourages you all to stop by a Starwood hotel or resort during your own migrations. He also wants to remind you that there are only two weeks left until the race... be sure to adopt your lucky duck(s) now while there are still ducks available!

Let us know if you spot Milo on the streets of New York, in a commercial on Time Warner Cable stations or if you see him in the Daily News and the Financial Times!

Milo does his best to stay connected to all the happenings in New York during his travels.

Shortly after this photo was taken he was flocked by fans and is in demand!

On Thursday, August 24, Milo joined Sandy the Seagull at the Brooklyn Cyclones game in Coney Island. Birds of a feather must stick together after all. Milo's good friend Walter Bannon, a Special Olympics athlete from Brooklyn, threw the first pitch too.

Surprisingly, Milo did not ruffle feathers when he rode the elevator on a visit to one of the companies who has already started fundraising. Milo is overjoyed to see that the corporate community is not ducking out of their commitment to the intellectually disabled population. This week the Merrill Lynch Duckies is the lead corporate team - but don't count any ducks before they hatch. There is still plenty of time for your company to start its own team. And Milo would be happy to visit you and your friends to help out with your efforts. Just shoot Clare, his agent, an email to schedule a stop on his migration.
