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.”
