EXTRA! EXTRA! Read All About It


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!
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.
