I am sure most of you have seen an Aflac commercial on tv. You know, the duck commercials? Well Aflac has teamed up with Macy’s and they are offering the perfect holiday present–limited edition plush Holiday Ducks. Why is this the perfect gift? All net proceeds go toward pediatric cancer treatment and research at the participating children’s cancer facility closest to where that particular duck was sold.
This is not something new, even though this may be the first you have heard of it. Aflac has been generously giving donations to this charity in the form of duck sales since 2001. In just 10 years the sales of the Aflac Holiday Duck have raised more than 3 million dollars!
This year Aflac had a lot of fun with their duck. They held a contest among the patients at the Aflac Cancer Center in Atlanta to determine who would design the 2012 Holiday Duck. The winner, 16 year old Monica Sandoval, from Winder, GA! Monica has battled leukemia for 4 years and was thrilled to have been crowned the winner! She hopes that everyone will be inspired to purchase the 2012 duck to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer.
