When Quack for a Cause launched in September 2024, it quickly became more than just a fun way to collect and share a duck. It evolved into a charitable giving movement embraced by those who duck Jeeps, hide ducks on cruise ships, and support awareness for meaningful causes.
In just three months, this initiative has raised over $3,200 for more than 40 different charities. These funds have supported lifesaving research, patient support, disaster relief, and assistance for veterans—proving that something as small as a duck can carry hope, healing, and heart.
Giving Where It Matters Most
The Quack for a Cause movement has been championed by many communities, including those who duck Jeeps as a way to spread kindness. Whether you’re a Jeep owner leaving a duck as a surprise on a fellow driver’s vehicle, or a cruiser tucking one away on a ship, every duck purchased has contributed to charitable giving efforts that support disaster relief, medical research, and veterans' programs.
💖 Advancing Medical Research & Patient Support
Research saves lives, and this community stepped up to help fund breakthrough treatments and critical patient care. Organizations like the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the American Diabetes Association received donations to continue their work in finding cures, supporting families, and improving lives.
For those living with chronic illnesses and disabilities, support is vital. Thanks to this movement, charities like the National Down Syndrome Society, Lupus Foundation of America, and National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) received contributions to ensure no one faces their battles alone.
🚑 Hurricane Relief & Emergency Support
When disaster strikes, communities rely on organizations like the American Red Cross (Hurricane Helene) and United Cajun Navy (Hurricane Milton) to step in and help those affected. With the generosity of our supporters, relief efforts were funded to provide food, shelter, and emergency aid to families rebuilding their lives after devastating hurricanes.
🎖️ Supporting Veterans & Military Families
Giving back to those who served our country has been one of the most rewarding parts of this initiative. Donations to the Gary Sinise Foundation and the 2d Medical Group Booster Club went toward providing essential support to veterans, active-duty military, and their families. Whether through housing, rehabilitation, or career assistance, these contributions helped honor and uplift those who have given so much.
🎁 Bringing Holiday Joy to Children in Need
The holiday season can be difficult for many families, but thanks to the Toys for Tots campaign, more children woke up to a gift under the tree. It’s more than just a toy—it’s a message that they are cared for and not forgotten.
A Heartfelt Thank You
What started as a fun way to spread smiles has grown into a powerful force for good. This community has shown that kindness knows no bounds—that a small duck can carry hope, comfort, and joy to those who need it most.
