Our sponsors say...
“The Silicon Valley Duck Race is a good public affairs fit for KBAY for a variety of reasons: it’s truly local, it’s a family event that appeals to a broad demographic, it has a creative/playful quality to it, and it benefits not one but many local organizations here in the valley. We also feel confident that it’s the kind of charitable event that our listeners are either already attending, and if not, it’s the kind of event they would WANT to attend and/or participate in.”
“Treehouse in the Glen is happy to support this wonderful charitable event and the organizations it supports. As an eco-friendly toy store we hold the well-being of the Earth, Community, Families, and Children as our top priority. Being involved with the Duck Race allows us to touch more of the community. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to sponsor this event.”
The 5th Annual Silicon Valley Duck Race is returning to Vasona Lake Park on Sunday, June 10, 2012 to benefit several local non-profits. This year's event is being hosted by the El Camino Hospital Foundation to support El Camino Hospital Los Gatos. The spring festival will draw flocks of friends and families for an egg-ceptional time filled with entertainment, food, and games for wisequackers of all ages.
Over the coming months, El Camino Hospital Foundation and partnering "duck buddy" organizations will sell 15,000 yellow rubber ducks. At the appointed hour, all the ducks will splash into Vasona creek and will race downstream. The purchasers of the first five ducks to reach the finish line will receive fabulous prizes and one lucky duck might even win a million dollars.
El Camino Hospital Los Gatos is a not-for-profit, acute-care, full service hospital that serves the communities of Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, and San Jose. Affiliated with El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, it is particularly well-known for urology services, a pioneering Men's Health Program, a 30-bed Rehabilitation Center, and a new Orthopedic Pavilion, where patients can recover from orthopedic surgery in a comfortable, hotel-like environment. The hospital forms extensive community benefit partnerships that support the health and wellbeing of the communities it serves, including underwriting school nurses for the Campbell Union High School District and providing medical and dental coverage for uninsured children through Healthy Kids. El Camino Hospital Foundation raises funds to help the hospital best meet the health needs of the community.
