Big Brothers and Sisters of Warren and Clinton Counties thanks everyone that got involved and came out to see our
Inaugural Rubber Duckie Regaffle
We are pleased to announce that our inaugural Regaffle raised almost $10,000! Thanks to everyone that came out and made this event a huge success! Please see below for a list of winners, photos of the event, and a list of sponsors/supporters. We hope to continue to grow this event in the coming years, and we hope that everyone enjoyed our first ever Regaffle!
What is a "Regaffle"?
A "Regaffle" is the term that we coined to fit our unique event. Our "Regaffle" included two events: A Rubber Duckie Regatta, and a Raffle.
About The Event
Our "Regaffle" was held on August 10th, 2008 at the Beach Waterpark in Mason, OH. The general public was invited to get involved by purchasing raffle tickets for $5. This raffle ticket allowed one entry into our raffle for prizes such as a $500 gift card to the Apple store, a $250 gift card to Best Buy, and a $150 gift card to Toys R Us. Also, the purchase of the $5 raffle ticket sponsored a Big Brothers and Sisters child in our Rubber Duckie Regatta that occurred in The Beach's Lazy Miami River. The children matched with the winning ducks also won prizes. To commemorate the regatta, the purchaser of the raffle ticket received a souvenir rubber duck to take home (this duck was not used in the race).
