The Leslie's Lucky Ducky Derby of Arizona aims to grow this year's participation from 20,000 to 40,000 ducks, while raising money to benefit charities and children in Arizona. The 24th annual duck race will take place from 11am to 2pm on Saturday, May 7 at the Scottsdale Waterfront. This year's race includes family-friendly activities and vendors.

 

Ducks can be adopted here!  Ducks can be purchased for $5 each or in packages: five ducks for $20, 15 ducks for $50 or 30 ducks for $100. With each duck they adopt, participants are entered in a drawing to win $10,000.  Remember, when you adopt your duck, you are helping Phoenix Conservatory of Music to raise much needed funds in a fun and exciting way!  So, buy and sell your ducks for a song!

  

Adopters are invited to cheer on their ducks as they are dumped into the canal and "paddle" toward the finish line. The official dump time is set for 1:30pm.

The Phoenix Conservatory of Music is very excited to be a charity for this year's Leslie's Lucky Ducky Derby!  We were brought into the project from our friends over at Ad2 Phoenix. 

 

Ad 2 Phoenix is a local networking group that helps Young Professionals in the Marketing/Advertising industries take on leadership roles and gain experience to help them further develop their careers.

One way they do this each year is by selecting a local non-profit (this year is  Phoenix Conservatory of Music) organization and helping them with  their marketing needs. 

 

The Phoenix Conservatory of Music is very excited about the direction of this work.  We are relooking at our brand, logo, and marketing plan so we can really transform our business and create awareness about the exciting resources we bring to our community!  More coming soon...
