The ducks were released for charitable purposes. Rubber toys managed to “collect” $ 310 thousand.
In the American city of Chicago, 70 thousand yellow rubber ducks were thrown into the river for the Chicago Ducky Derby 2021 competition. Anyone could participate in the event by purchasing a duck for five dollars. The money will go to charity, writes The Telegraph.
The Duck Event was organized by Special Olympics Illinois, a nonprofit charity dedicated to competing athletes with intellectual disabilities.
In order to launch all the ducks, a truck was needed.
After the end of the event, all toy rubber products were fished out of the water.
The organizers managed to collect more than 310 thousand dollars.
We will remind, the ex-wife of the founder of Amazon gave $ 2.7 billion for charity… Mackenzie Scott is ranked 22nd on the list of the richest people in the world.
Before that, it became known that the man in a bear costume walked 770 kilometers… During an unusual hiking trip, Jesse Larios raised $ 17,000 to fight mental illness.
