Ducks race in cyberspace for Youngcare

An enterprising group of Griffith University MBA students put their thinking caps on and developed a fantastic fundraising concept for Youngcare, as part of their studies in event management.

A+ for this creative group!  The Griffith uni students devised a cyber duck race in which people purchased an online duck to participate in the race.

Held over three days on 26, 27 & 28 May, entrants watched the cyber race online and if their name flashed up at the end of the race, it meant their duck had won.

“This was such an engaging fundraising concept which people really embraced,” Youngcare Event Manager Bronwyn Glass said.

“There were a range of lucky winners with Jean Miles scooping the pool and picking up a luxury holiday – congratulations!”
