Team Success Stories
Buffalo Wild Wings Blitz
Buffalo Wild Wings went big in 2024—with all 9 locations across the Greater Miami Valley joining forces to raise over $4,000 for the Rubber Duck Regatta! Staff rallied customers with in-store signage, QR codes, and duck-themed challenges. Their team spirit and commitment made them the top team fundraiser of the year—and fan-favorite duck racers!
URS Staff Splash
From lunchroom raffles to friendly department rivalries, URS staff members dove into duck adoptions with heart! With many employees creating their own pages and spreading the word on social media, the team showed what it means to live the mission—raising vital support for the clients we serve every day.
Board of Directors: 100% Committed
Our Board of Directors led by example, with 100% participation in the 2024 Rubber Duck Regatta campaign. Their generosity and advocacy not only supported critical programs but inspired others to get involved. When leadership leads with heart, big things happen!
