The top 3 selling schools (sales through April) will receive great
prizes to help that school. These prizes may include cash and needed
school supplies.

a flock of 5 ($20), to race down the Rio Grande, August 24, 2002.
Alvarado receives $1 per duck. Net proceeds from this charity
event
(after the schools have earned their funds from the Bucks For Ducks
program) are split between 2 nonprofit agencies:
Campus Crime Stoppers will use these
funds to further develop the
already successful Campus Crime Stoppers program into the elementary
level schools. (The program will be developed with the input &
support
of elementary principals, teachers, parents, students & school
police.)
The Albuquerque Rotary Charitable
Foundation, does much to
support local programs in areas such as child welfare and literacy,
and
was a major contributor to the recently inaugurated Children's Fantasy
Garden at the Bio Park.
