In celebration of the holiday season, Ducks players, broadcasters, staff members and the Lady Ducks (wives and significant others of Ducks players, coaches, broadcasters and management) will treat children from low-income families to gifts that otherwise would not have been possible. The beneficiaries of the Anaheim Ducks Shopping Spree are students currently enrolled in programs at the Santa Ana-based nonprofit organization, The Wooden Floor. Anaheim Ducks partner TCL, one of the world's best-selling consumer electronics brands and a leading display technology innovator, will also participate in making the holidays brighter for The Wooden Floor youth and their families. Each child will be surprised with a 43" TCL TV, featuring stunning 4K high-definition picture quality, high dynamic range (HDR) and access to thousands of streaming channels.
On Thursday, Dec. 8, members of the Anaheim Ducks will visit CHOC Children's in Orange. Players will make room-to-room visits and deliver Wild Wingers Kids Club Kits donated by fans to brighten the season for patients receiving care during the holidays at CHOC.
Additionally, the Ducks are hosting the annual Anaheim Ducks Toy Drive presented by Easton & Easton, the Official Personal Injury Attorneys of the Anaheim Ducks, to benefit the Spark of Love Toy Drive. The Lady Ducks will be assisting Anaheim Fire & Rescue to collect new, unwrapped, toys, books and games at the Northeast and Southeast entrances of Honda Center prior to the Ducks games on Tuesday, Dec. 6 vs. Carolina (7 p.m.) and Friday, Dec. 9 vs. San Jose (7 p.m.). Toy Drive drop off locations are also available at each of THE RINKS locations as well as the Anaheim Ducks Team Store through Monday, Dec. 12.
The Lady Ducks have created hand-made ornaments for each of the players that will be autographed and available to bid on during the in-game auction on Wednesday, Dec. 21 as the Ducks face off against the Minnesota Wild (7 p.m.). Fans can bid on the holiday ornaments starting at 5 p.m. with the auction to close at 9 p.m. To place a bid, text DUCKS to 76278 or visit AnaheimDucks.com/InGameAuctions.
The Anaheim Ducks Foundation also have created "NutQuacker" holiday ornaments made of game-used glass that the Lady Ducks will sell a limited number of the commemorative holiday ornaments for $25 each. Fans can visit the TCL Entrance to purchase an Anaheim Ducks Foundation ornament. All proceeds raised will benefit the Anaheim Ducks Foundation.
