Extra! Extra! Read all about it: MILO IS MR. MANHATTAN... ADOPT YOUR OWN LUCKY DUCK NOW! It is week three 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 does his best to stay connected to all the happenings in New York during his travels. Today he was spotted at a newsstand purchasing the ever informative Daily News where he is being featured on a regular basis throughout August and September. And yes, he is available for autographs. 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.

If you are interested in a less public opportunity to meet Milo, we would be happy to book a visit for you and your friends to help out with your fundraising efforts. Just shoot Clare, his agent, an email to schedule a stop on his migration.

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!

12th Floor: Down Jackets, Feather Dusters & Lucky Ducks...Going Up! It is week two 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 friends for a race in the East River.

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.
