The Ducks will host a full week of fundraising activities dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Rady Children’s Health. The Ducks will host these events as part of their ongoing commitment to support the CHOC Foundation, now part of Rady Children’s Health. All proceeds raised during CHOCO Week will benefit the CHOC Foundation.
The CHOCO Week celebration began on March 17 as the Lady Ducks (wives and significant others of Ducks players, coaches, broadcasters, and executives) joined CHOCO Ambassadors at Great Park Ice and FivePoint Arena for a fun and meaningful morning of friendship bracelet-building. This event allowed the Lady Ducks and CHOCO Ambassadors to connect and create friendship bracelets that will be donated to children at CHOC.
As the Ducks face off against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight, March 18 (7 p.m.), the Lady Ducks will host a Friendship Bracelet Sale, where fans can purchase limited‑edition Ducks and CHOCO‑branded friendship bracelets in the Michelob Ultra Puck Drop Patio outside the North entrance of Honda Center beginning at 5:30 p.m. Bracelets are available for $10 each or a full set for $45.
The CHOCO Week celebration will continue this Friday, March 20 with an official Anaheim Ducks Watch Party at the Port Theater in Corona Del Mar. Guests are invited to cheer on the Anaheim Ducks as the team faces off against the Utah Mammoth. The party will include music, food, drinks, silent auction, opportunity drawings and specialty Wild Wing and CHOCO bear shaped cotton candy. Doors open for the event at 6 p.m. with puck drop slated at 7 p.m. Attendees will also be able to purchase CHOCO Bears ahead of the sale at the Ducks CHOCO Day game.

CHOCO Week will culminate Sunday, March 22 on CHOCO Day at Honda Center as the Ducks face off against the Buffalo Sabres (5 p.m.). This marks the 19th year of the Ducks’ partnership with Rady Children’s Health. Ducks fans are invited to participate in the special event in a variety of ways.

Rady Children’s Health signage will also be prevalent in-game on the center-hung scoreboard screens, as well as on screens throughout the concourses on all three Honda Center levels. In celebration of CHOCO Day, all Anaheim Ducks dasher-board partners have donated their location to Rady Children’s Health for the game.
