\"\"<\/a>Wait until you read about this great\u00a0fundraising promotion idea! Looking for a great way to bring your community together and increase fundraising dollars this summer?\u00a0 Want to spread your organization’s message to a broader audience?\u00a0 If so, Odds On Promotions has a great suggestion for you: holding a fundraising duck race promotion<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Wondering how it works?\u00a0 It’s actually quite simple — first and foremost, put together a committee and determine who will be in charge of sponsorships, adoptions, advertising,\u00a0fundraising and whatever other positions\/duties are applicable to your organization.\u00a0 Be sure to put together a website where players can pay for their duck adoptions online as well!<\/p>\n

When you begin advertising, make sure to list a contact phone number and\/or email (both are preferable) in case anyone in the community has any questions.\u00a0 Make sure the date and time of the event are visible on any printed advertisements, as well as on your website.\u00a0 Be sure to inform businesses such as your local chamber of commerce about your duck race event, as they could make for great potential sponsors!\u00a0 Sponsorships can help you cover your costs … namely, the prize(s) you’re supplying.<\/p>\n

The day prior to your promotion, do a “test run” of the duck race on the river to ensure that the design\u00a0of\u00a0your course works out and that the finish line is well-constructed.\u00a0 Also be sure to make sure each duck sold is labeled at the bottom with numbers corresponding to all tickets being sold.<\/p>\n

To make your duck race more appealing, you might also\u00a0want to look into insuring a grand prize through Odds On Promotions<\/a> that will give one “lucky duck” in your community a chance to win a grand prize if their preselected duck crosses the finish line first.\u00a0 You can also have the duck owner split the prize 50\/50 with your organization\/charity!<\/p>\n

On the day of your fundraising promotion, a plethora of members from your community should be present if you’ve advertised properly.\u00a0 Be sure you have volunteer members to help release the ducks and award your race winners generously, providing complimentary prizes for runner-ups.<\/p>\n

Have any other questions about holding a duck race fundraiser?\u00a0 Interested in insuring one?\u00a0 Give Odds On a call at 888-827-2249<\/strong> or email us<\/a>!\u00a0 We’ll help make sure it turns out ‘quacktastic!’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
