Supporting the Huntington Beach Community Clinic with DUCKS!

This Sunday, April 18, from 12-4, the fine folks from HB's Duck-a-thon, will be in our parking lot, surrounded by ducks! Rubber ducks will be on hand, decorated this year as SPACE Ducks! Your purchase of these speedy little guys will support the Huntington Beach Community Clinic. http://www.cchcoc.org/

Baby ducks are only $10.00! Sponsor ducks are available, too, should your company wish to particpate.

The offical duck-a-thon takes place at the Huntington Beach pier and draws huge crowds from all over! It's a terrific weekend event, with a wine tasting kick off on Friday night, May 14. http://www.duckathon.org/

This Sunday at HB Mazda, at 16800 Beach Blvd, not only will there be rubber ducks to purchase, but Daddy Duck and Baby Duck will be making a rare, live visit, and Cassie Cotarelo, Miss Huntington Beach will also be on hand! http://www.misshb.org/media/Miss-Huntington-2010-crowned.pdf

Children's Congress

Jennifer Heumann and Heather Faland, both of Huntington Beach, were two of 300 children across the country chosen to represent JDRF Orange County at the 2005 and 2007 JDRF Children’s Congresses in Washington, D.C. Delegates go to Washington, D.C., to tell their elected officials and the world what it is like to live with diabetes and why providing funding to help find a cure is so important. Children’s Congress is designed to educate our federal elected officials about the issues surrounding children living with juvenile diabetes. The children selected from chapters around the country have a powerful story to tell, and they are incredibly effective in securing funding for type 1 diabetes research.
