Help #AflacKids Fight Pediatric Cancer
Dear Creatives, I love spreading the word about ways we can help others! Here is a great way to stuff a stocking & give hope against the fight for childhood cancer. Just purchase an Aflac Holiday Duck & give the gift of hope! I know this is on my gift giving list & encourage you to purchase the Aflac Holiday Duck. The Aflac Holiday Duck is available at over 600 participating Macy’s stores across the country and at www.aflacholidayduck.com. (see below for all purchase information) All net proceeds go to fighting pediatric cancer. Not only that but; For every Tweet with the #AflacKids hashtag, Aflac will donate $2 directly to pediatric cancer research! I made two easy copy & paste tweets for you or make your own!

Aflac has teamed up with Macy’s to offer the perfect holiday present: limited edition plush Holiday Ducks, which benefit pediatric cancer treatment and research. All net proceeds go toward pediatric cancer treatment and research at the participating children’s cancer facility nearest to where each duck is sold. Since 2001, the sales of the Aflac Holiday Duck have raised more than three million dollars.
This year, Aflac held a contest among the patients at the Aflac Cancer Center in Atlanta to determine who would design the 2012 Holiday Duck. Sixteen year-old Monica Sandoval, from Winder, GA, was the winner. Monica, who has battled leukemia for 4 years, is thrilled to have had her design selected and hopes that everyone will be inspired to purchase the 2012 duck to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer.
Purchase information: (This will Make a great Stocking Stuffer!)
The Aflac Holiday Duck retails for $10 for the 6-inch duck and $15 for the 10-inch version. The Aflac Holiday Duck is available at over 600 participating Macy’s stores across the country and at www.aflacholidayduck.com. All net proceeds go to fighting pediatric cancer.
