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