Milo's last stop with Brooklyn Borough President Markowitz

Milo the Million Dollar Duck's Manhattan Migration, down to the South Street Seaport in time to join over 25,000 of his little rubber friends for a race in the East River on Monday, August 6th for the Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York, concludes…


Milo visited the Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz earlier this week. The Brooklyn Borough President is a big fan of Special Olympics New York and Milo wanted to say personally hello to Borough President Markowitz. Milo was delighted that Borough President Markowitz greeted him at the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Milo wanted to challenge himself for his last journey to the South Street Seaport and decided to cross the Brooklyn Bridge. He was very determined to make it through and take his place at South Street Seaport to get his ducks in a row for Monday's event. Before Milo was ready to move his yellow-feathered wings towards the Seaport, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz shook Milo’s fluffed wings and wished him luck for his long journey.

Milo will be down at the Seaport all day Monday to meet, greet and sell ducks. Coincidentally, Monday is both the Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York AND Milo's birthday. Milo hopes that you will come to celebrate the day he quacked out of his shell. Looking for a gift idea? At the top of his wish list: BUY DUCKS to benefit Special Olympics New York. http://www.2007duckrace.kintera.org/

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We only have one day left and still haven't reached our fundraising goal. Please put a smile on Milo's beak and adopt a duck and/or forward this email to a flock of your friends.
