The Munchkin Company is marking National Breast Cancer Awareness month by "ducking" the issue in four different ways.
- Buy a duck: Pink rubber ducks are available for $2.99, proceeds of which will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. In addition to making a creatively colored bath toy, the pink ducks serve as a reminder not to "duck" monthly self-exams.
- Email a duck: Computer-generated versions of the duck can be personalized with backgrounds and accessories and then emailed to others. A map tracks the duck's path, making it a a fun and educational experience for kids. In addition, for every person that opens the email, Munchkin will donate a nickel to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure making it an easy way to raise money.
- Bid on a Celebrity Duck: Every week in October there will be Ebay auctions for rubber ducks decorated by various celebrities for sale. Participating celebrities include: Katie Couric, Brooke Shields, Courtney Cox, Matthew McConaughey, Barbara Bush and Melissa Joan Hart.
- Decorate a duck: Anyone purchasing a duck is invited to decorate it and submit a photo to the duck beauty pageant. The first place winner will receive a year of free housecleaning along with a Munchkin gift basket.
They had me at "Susan G. Kormen for the Cure", but the possibility of a year off from housecleaning is an offer I can't refuse. May the best duck win, but PLEASE LET IT BE MINE!
