I know… I KNOW. The girl who complains about getting asked for donations is….. asking you to buy a duck.

The United Way in Ottawa County reached out to Brittany Spurgeon & I to be on the Duck Planning Committee and represent the Genoa area and since I’ve donated to this event every year, it felt like the perfect time to say yes!

So far my biggest obstacle in this adventure has been autocorrect and the word Duck. I’ll let you imagine how many times it’s tried to turn this into a completely different fundraiser ☠️🤣

In all seriousness, you can join our team or adopt a duck. 1st place: $1,000; 2nd place: $500 and 3rd place: a mega gift basket…. And you don’t even have to be there to win.

You can adopt a duck this Friday during store hours or use the link below - just shoot me a message after so I can fill out your ticket! Every dollar stays right here in Ottawa County to support local programs & services.

Let’s see if team L+F can send a duck to victory 🌊🐥
