Cooper/T. Smith was once again a proud sponsor of the Ronald McDonald House’s Rubber Ducky Regatta held on October 5 at Cooper Riverside Park. The event culminated with the release of 10,000 rubber duckies into the Mobile River. These “adopted” duckies raced to the finish line and the fastest ducky’s adopter won a Carnival Cruise for two! All marine logistics for the event were coordinated by Strickler Adams, Sales Manager, Cooper Marine and Timberlands.

All proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mobile, which houses families with seriously ill and injured children being treated at area hospitals. Adopting a rubber ducky not only gives participants a chance to win prizes, but they provide funds for a safe haven to all the families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House while their child is receiving treatment.
