Rubber Ducky Scramble
October 29, 2007
Team Dickinson and the Dickinson College Children's Center Ducklings waited out the wet weather (ducks like rain, but small children do not) to hold this fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. The fun-filled scramble had the kindergartners from the center collect pink rubber ducks by carrying them on spoons, balancing them on their heads and other fun methods.
Drawing winners were picked from the collected ducks which were sold in advance of the event.

All proceeds benefit Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.
