As any fundraising special events
planner knows, part of the key to making a profit is to create a budget that
carefully accounts for all possible expenses, and then to make sure that the
likely income from the event will exceed the total expenses by a healthy
margin.
But who
knew that rubber duck races were getting so popular that you might need to
purchase upwards of 40,000 ducks?
That's right, from Texas to Hawaii, duck
adopters are flocking (oops, bad pun) to join the race. You can read about it
in the article, "Rubber duckies go with the flow of charity,"
by Kristin R. Jackson.
The good news for the people making the budgets is that, according to my online research,
two-inch rubber duckies can be had for about 39 cents apiece. So maybe it's
storage space that should be your biggest concern.
