Very Jane Teams With Make-A-Wish Utah To Sell Rubber Ducks For 25th Anniversary Rubber Ducky Derby

Very Jane, a leading boutique daily deal site, cooperating with Make-A-Wish® Utah, today announced that rubber ducks for the 25th Anniversary "Rubber Ducky Derby" will be available for sponsorship for $10 each at www.veryjane.com from July 22 through Aug. 3. In true daily deal fashion, Very Jane will also donate an additional $5 to Make-A-Wish Utah for every duck sponsored from their site, up to $3,000, increasing customers' donations by 50 percent.

"Working with Very Jane gives us a new avenue to sell sponsorships, and with rapidly evolving digital options for networking and commerce, exploring the daily deal arena for fund raising is exciting territory," said Make-A-Wish Utah Chief Executive Officer Shar Lewis. "We are grateful for the support of Very Jane, as they introduce the Rubber Ducky Derby to new donors and help raise awareness for our chapter."

"Very Jane customers are always on the lookout for great deals and we think this deal is priceless-$10 to help grant a child's wish," said Mike McEwan, Very Jane CEO. "We love the work Make-A-Wish Utah does in our community and that we have the opportunity to help raise money for Utah children with life-threatening medical conditions."

By sponsoring ducks, individuals and teams compete for the chance to win a 2-year lease on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, maintenance included, valued at $25,000 (courtesy of Murdock Auto Group). Sponsors of the "top ducks" in each heat will also win prizes. Rubber Duck sponsors do not need to be in attendance to win.

Event Schedule
The charity event is scheduled for Aug. 10, 9a.m. - noon at Seven Peaks Salt Lake (1200 West 1700 South). At 10 a.m., sponsored "duckies" will begin racing in heats around the lazy river. At 11:30 a.m., the top winners will race in final heats to compete for the grand prizes. Winners will be notified following the event.
